The Seed - A Survivor’s...

Adeline Ward, Mad Paraluman

“You don’t just survive. You transform.” 
The Seed is the first book in The Bloom Series — a bold, genre-defying collaboration between two women reclaiming their stories and offering a lifeline to others. 
Co-authored by Adeline Ward, an Australian-American actress, writer, and storyteller rooted in healing and truth and Mad Paraluman, a Filipina-American U.S. Navy veteran, immigrant, and survivor of domestic violence and systemic harm. This book is both a mirror and a schematic — designed for anyone navigating trauma, identity, and self-reclamation. 
Through poetic prose, raw vulnerability, and quiet rebellion, The Seed blends memoir, cultural reflection, and practical tools. From the silence of abuse to the roar of aircraft hangars, Adeline and Mad’s stories intersect at the edges of survival and bloom into truth, sisterhood, and radical softness. 
This is not just a story — it is a becoming. 
Whether you are recovering from rupture or learning to hold space for another, The Seed offers tools and reflection rooted in community care, shared language, and co-healing. 
You are not broken. You are blooming. And you don’t have to do it alone — if you dare to build the community you need.
