After moving from Manhattan to Houston, Isobella Jade's life shattered. In brief vignettes, Jade shares her emotional journey through motherhood and grief after a traumatic divorce. Under a canopy of pines, Jade embarks on mending herself while walking on trails at a nature preserve near her home. The natural world becomes her place of solace through the seasons, as though each step forward allows her to emerge with new energy. In her displacement she finds unexpected connection while admiring the cypress, oak and magnolia trees and noticing the fascinating lives of the southern flora and wildlife around her. Walking with nostalgia for her northeastern roots, the wildflowers seem to carry Jade from the ground up while she finds her new beginning on the trail.
