Synopsis

In Ephemeral Blooms, the narrator seeks meaning as the final Bloom, the last person living in her immediate family. She struggles to understand her mother’s ghosts and comes to terms with her entrepreneurial, workaholic father. The memoir reveals the lives of her two brothers, Marshall, a radical left activist and closeted gay man; and Alan, a Goldwater conservative, addicted to alcohol and a Playboy perspective on life. When the younger committed suicide at 25 and the older at 52, the narrator reflects on their deaths and the meaning of their loss. She examines childhood memories and life in middle-class Jewish Denver, Colorado in the ‘40s and ‘50s. Leaving Colorado for other places, primarily Philadelphia, the narrator guides the reader through the struggles and fortunate changes that occur throughout the following decades to shift the trajectory of her life.
