Begonia Bloom carries a steady calm wherever she goes, a quiet strength that holds the Bloom household together as her daughters grow. As Lily stands at the edge of adulthood, and Rosie and Daisy watch from just behind, Begonia reminds them gently that every season arrives in its own time.

​

Though her days are full, Begonia remains quietly her own person — thoughtful, capable, and warm in a way that lingers. Beckstrom Wheat, the keeper of the general store, has noticed, as have her daughters, who never miss an opportunity to tease or encourage. Perhaps one evening, when the house is still and the path home is calm, Begonia will finally say yes to the walk he keeps meaning to ask her on.
