Cloud Whispers

5 stars by Deb G: Honestly, I was not sure what to expect from this book as I've never considered myself a particularly spiritual or "new age" person. I was very pleasantly surprised and quickly drawn in as soon as I started reading. A well-written, intriguing story line, along with a great cast of characters, made for a book I found hard to put down. I enjoyed getting to know all of the characters, their strengths, weaknesses, and relationships, and felt their ups and downs right along with them. I'm looking forward to more from this author!

5 stars by KJ: I wasn't sure what to expect with this book. However, I couldn't put the book down. Had lots of surprise twists and turns to the very end. Hopefully there will be another book in the works for this writer.  

4 stars by Leslie H: Not my genre of choice as I prefer horror/supernatural stories but this was actually a nice change of pace. Sometimes in life we get so carried away in trying to please everyone from our parents to our loved ones and in this case a child given up for adoption when the lead was a teenager.

5 Stars by Lisa M: Katie Callahan, the main character in Sedona Hutton’s Cloud Whispers is a victim early on in this novel but she is also a survivor. I enjoyed the beautiful but flawed cast of characters, particularly the close-knit Callahan clan, as well as Katie’s sister and niece. The characters were believable, making me wish I knew them in person. This book lends a twist to the standard romance novel, when spiritual guides lead Katie on a physical and emotional healing journey after an accident leaves her in a coma. I dog-eared pages to return to for the spiritual lessons. But mostly it’s the characters that propel this story of strength, loyalty and hope. I found myself cheering for them, especially when the plot gets complicated, just as you think problems have been resolved. I could definitely see this book being made into a movie.

Cloud Whispers by Sedona Hutton is the powerful story of one woman's fate and the design of second chances. The book starts with Katie Callahan learning of the death of a distant relative named Gwen, with a call from an attorney to notify her that Katie had been charged with the care of a twelve-year-old girl named Savannah. In a swirl of confusion, Katie recalls a period of her teenage life where she herself had a baby and put it up for adoption. Her father quickly confirms the child is, in fact, her own biological daughter. Shocked, Katie's life is tossed into turmoil as the weight of the situation settles in. Liam, her husband, doesn't know about this part of her past. As she readies herself to unveil the truth, an accident pulls what little control she had away and destiny takes over. “Whether it’s your time to transition or whether you return to Earth, we’ll be here to guide you.”

Cloud Whispers by Sedona Hutton is one of those books that come along and very nearly take your breath away. Beautifully written and emotionally stirring, Hutton creates a world that is neither here nor there - not on earth, and not quite the afterlife - and elegantly weaves a story that is both picturesque and enlightening. The supernatural comes to life as Katie waltzes delicately around, and just out of reach, of those around her. As the story peels away in splendid layers, the heart of it is revealed in a spectacular and unexpected way. I'd recommend this book to lovers of literary fiction and anyone else with the desire to escape for a brief moment into the great unknown.

Cloud Whispers by Sedona Hutton is an inspirational story about how positive thinking and the laws of attraction can be key elements in how that energy can be harnessed to improve the quality of life. The story begins with Katie Callahan getting a phone call. She finds out from her cousin Gwen's lawyer that she was named as Gwen's heir, and her cousin wanted Katie to raise her daughter, Savannah. A quick trip to her overbearing father assures Katie that Savannah is the daughter that she gave up for adoption when she was abroad as a teenager. Now Katie is married to Liam, a custom motorcycle business owner, a man that her father disapproves of. Liam and Katie would like to have a child together, and she has to break the news to Liam. But before she has a chance to talk to him, they are involved in an accident that leaves Katie in a coma.

Ms. Hutton does a superb job of bringing this heartfelt story to life, with a cast of supportive family, friends, and spirit guides that coax Katie back to her loved ones. Sedona Hutton is able to vividly describe the animosity that her father feels for his daughter's husband that could rival the Hatfields and the McCoys. To add fuel to the fire, Liam's successful younger brother Shane, that Liam put through college, begins dating Katie's sister, Liz. There are so many stories going on within the confines of the greater picture, but the author is able to weave them all together. Just as one crisis gets resolved, up pops another one.
