I bought my lilac bush last fall. It was approximately 2-3 feet tall and loaded with leaves. This season, it now has blooms but very little leaves. Most of the branches appear dry and dead. What can I do?

Without seeing your lilacs or analyzing your soil, it's difficult to know what the problem is. It sounds like it's either suffering from disease or isn't getting the proper nutrients. In any event, it won't continue to come back without good foliage.
My advice would be to start by a process of elimination:
