Shelby Hearon has been widely praised for the insight, wit, and subtlety with which her novels limn the complexities of marriage and family ("What Jane Austen is to courtship, Shelby Hearon is to marriage" --New York Newsday), and the ways in which place can profoundly affect us all. Now, with Ella in Bloom, Hearon gives us her sharpest, funniest, most telling novel yet. It is the story of Ella, who has always lived in the shadow of her "perfect" older sister. A gutsy single parent eking out a living for herself and her intrepid teenage daughter Birdie, Ella invents a genteel life, writing to her mother in drought-baked Texas about her heirloom roses, her linen dresses, and other amenities of a respectable life in Old Metairie, Louisiana. Little does her mother know about the run-down, scruffy house Ella really lives in, or that she makes ends meet by watering rich people's houseplants when they flee the coastal summer heat. But when Ella's beautiful sister Terrell, on the way to meet her lover, is suddenly killed in a chartered plane crash, old family patterns are shattered. And Ella, confronting the reality of her life (and of the man she had relegated to the past) comes, finally and fully, into bloom. Wise, wicked, and moving, in Shelby Hearon's hands this portrait of a woman--a woman we all know--is guaranteed to give extraordinary pleasure.

"If you want to live the spectacular life, then you have to love and dream big." It is the endless summer of 2019, just before the pandemic, when two of the most adorable and larger-than-life characters are about to cross paths. Ella, a young fashionable, witty and fun-loving woman from the city of Montréal, has the mighty ambition of making exciting and game-changing entertainment productions for Netflix. Bloom, a handsome young Brit and thrill-seeking entrepreneur from London, has it all; perfect life and good looks—yet, he is searching for something more. He is visiting Montréal from London and staying in the city for a week. On one adventurous night, their two worlds collide when they randomly meet on the streets of Montréal, and their encounter turns into a fiery romance across New York, Toronto, Niagara Falls, Montréal, Vancouver and London. From making passionate love in New York City at Kimpton on the twenty-first floor while holding on to the large glass windows overlooking the lit up Empire State Building, to romantically kissing under the magical waterfalls of Niagara and witnessing galaxies within galaxies of stars on their road trip… Is Bloom the dream guy Ella has been waiting for all of her life? Book Reviews: "The story is demonstrative and proof that this novel has a huge potential to become an all-time bestseller. What a fulfilling experience! I enjoyed every single minute of the editing of a very captivating and compelling story." Johanna, New York Times Bestseller Editor. "I love this story. It gives me somewhat of a Fifty Shades of Grey vibe, how Ella and Bloom feel about each other. Brilliant!" Erin-Leigh. "I love that your story is set in Montréal and London! Two of my favourite cities in the world! I love the main characters Ella and Bloom. These characters are extremely likeable." Alexandra. "I loved the story and already feel invested in Ella and Bloom's romance and where the journey will take them!" Lauren. This beautiful book explores the meaning of true love, beauty, passionate sex, fashion, fun, happiness, adventure, travel, dreams and life from a woman and man’s perspective.

Windbreaker the bird and Krinkel the squirrel offer to help, but Ella Bloom laughs at them. She later regrets her actions after a tall person ignores her. Fortunately, Krinkel and Windbreaker return and rescue her before nightfall.
