One of the most controversial practices by Jehovah's Witnesses is the ban on all types of blood transfusions-even if they are meant to save a life. Written by a former Witness, "Bloodflowers" follows the life of Daniel Verona, a devoted Jehovah's Witness, who is also a Hemophiliac. When a pair of teenage Witnesses die after being refused blood transfusions by the Church leaders, Daniel sets of on a spiritual journey to find out the truth about the Truth, and to deal with the constant guilt of never living up to Jehovah's standards.
