5.0 out of 5 stars The best!, June 18, 1999

This review is from: Clouds (Glenbrooke, Book 5) (Paperback)

I personally love the book! You really need to read the Christy Miller series first. THEN Secrets, Whispers, Echoes, Sunsets and so on. They are my personal favorites and being 14 I don't get to read them that often! :) I hope you enjoy it!

This review is from: Clouds (Glenbrooke, Book 5) (Paperback)

Shelly and Meredith, sisters from a close, loving family, are both experiencing career changes and decide to move in together. Unsatisfied in her career as an airline stewardess, Shelly begins considering other opportunities around her. Also unsastified that she is rapidly approaching thirty and still unmarried, Shelly cannot forget the boy whose heart she broke many years earlier. Needing to take some time off, Shelly accompanies her sister on a fateful trip to Germany, where she encounters Jonathon, whose proposal she had turned down years before. Instead of rekindling an old romance, like she had hoped, he introduces her to his fiance'. It takes Meredith and the Lord to make Shelly realize that her life can go on and that she can become fulfilled in her career and as a Christian. Clouds is a wonderful Christian romance with a great surprise ending!

Clouds is a fantastic book! Such a sweet story, and one of the best books I've read in a long time. This book is part of a series. I only read Secrets first (which is not quite as good as this one) and was not lost in the story. I would have rather read them all in order, but I will definitely read the rest of the series ASAP!
