BLURB:

The daughter she gave away. The family she always wanted. The journey to redefine her fate.

Katie Callahan longs to start a family of her own. Infertile and unable to convince her relatives to accept the man she married, she regrets giving away the daughter from her secret teenage pregnancy. When a twist of fate brings a second chance at motherhood, she’s caught between joy and the fear of her husband’s rejection of another man’s child… until a devastating motorcycle accident rips the decision out of her hands.

With her body trapped in a coma, Katie finds herself in the dreamlike space between Earth and the afterlife. Guided by spiritual forces and the soul of her beloved dog, she learns the life-changing power of intention and self-transformation. From her ethereal vantage-point, she watches as her loved ones work together to connect the pieces of their broken hearts. As she finally realizes her true destiny, Katie's only chance to fulfill her purpose means completing an impossible journey back to life…

Cloud Whispers is a mind-expanding women’s fiction novel with a strong spiritual message. If you like headstrong heroines, heartwarming stories of family and forgiveness, and new age concepts, then you’ll love Sedona Hutton’s empowering tale.

EXCERPT SIX:


“Oh, I almost forgot.” Reaching into his pocket, Liam pulled out a silver band. “I brought this in for you.” He traced a finger across the inscription on the ring—Mo Anam Cara—Gaelic for ‘my soul mate.’ He’d given it to Katie on their first wedding anniversary. He slipped it onto Katie’s right ring finger, then lifted her hand. The tiny diamond in the band sparkled as big and bright as his love for her. “Thought you might want this to remind you that you’re still my always and forever. You make me insanely happy,” he said, rubbing the ring. “Come back to me, Katie-Cat.”

When he lowered Katie’s hand, she linked her fingers with his.

REVIEW:


This book was definitely unlike anything I’ve read before – and I do mean that in a good way!

I felt like this book took me on my own adventure through the clouds as I followed along Katie’s soul-searching journey.

This book focuses mostly on husband and wife, Liam and Katie and their love for each other that is tested after some old, buried secrets come to light.  After a major motorcycle accident, Katie is in a coma.  While in a dreamlike trance, Katie reflects on her life and the choices she’s made.  One particular choice is the daughter she gave up as a teenager that has recently re-entered her life and how she’s kept that a secret all these years.  Also, the fact that she is infertile and how that has played out with her family.  Katie does some serious soul-searching and must decide what she wants out of life.

I really liked the main characters, Katie and Liam.  They were relatable and genuine.

Over the course of the book it is revealed that both Katie and Liam have gone through some difficult trauma’s.  This only makes them even more realistic and their shared damages seem to bring them closer together.  I love these kinds of books that don’t make character’s lives seem “perfect.” Since no one’s real life is ever like that.  I like the messy parts and Mrs. Hutton gives her readers just that.

I also enjoyed the secondary characters and how their stories unfolded while Katie was in the coma.  It gave more context and told more to the story while also providing mini-stories that had their own tangents.  It was very well developed and thought out.

This book has an interesting storyline that flows, terrific writing style with detailed scenes, fantastic characters, and keeps you entertained through the last page!

I like that this book touches on many topics such as love, romance, friendship, second chances, determination, morals, courage, resilience, growth, forgiveness, setting goals, dedication, starting over, soul-searching, tranquility, reflection, transition, new beginnings, overcoming obstacles, and so much more!

There are some twists and turns and unexpected moments that will keep you guessing!

This book is beautifully written and truly shows that choices we make today can affect the results of tomorrow and that those choices don’t just affect us, they affect those around us.  Such an important message as I don't think many of us think about that before we act.

I have to admit, there are many times I wish I had spent more time on reflection, goal setting, and planning for the future.  Many of us don’t do that until a life-threatening situation occurs or it’s too late.  This book helped remind me that it’s important to make the time regardless.  We’re all moving in one direction, but unless we take the time to reflect and think about which direction that we want to be going in, we’re just headed down some road blindly.  It’s important to know what you want out of life and then move in that direction.  I was a bit lost, just moving, but not sure where.  This book helped remind me of that.  I now know that I need to reflect, soul-search, and make a plan.

All in all, I enjoyed reading this book and would absolutely recommend this book to all woman’s fiction readers!
