In his book In Bloom, John Spiegel navigates the fears and uncertainties of parenthood while exploring his own childhood, a frequent source of insecurities. Spiegel blends daily tasks with the wonder of first-experiences, the disbelief of self with the belief in the spiritual, and the constant fear of failure with the exhilaration of accomplishment. In Bloom takes the lyric moment and uses it to show how life itself can't be captured in any one instance; it is the culmination of moments that make us who we are and what we will be remembered for.
