GENRE: Women's Fiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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!
