Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to spotlight upcoming releases we are excited about that we have yet to read.
The book I’m waiting on this week is…
Friends, I simply adore this author! When she has a new release, I scramble to get it, and I was thrilled to be given an ARC and asked to participate in the blog tour with giveaway for The Secret of Clouds. I’ll also be group reading this one, and let me know if you’d like to join me, too. Alyson Richman’s historical fiction transports you to a different time and place, and I cannot wait to dig into this one. And look at that cover! Ahh! 👀 👀
Synopsis from Goodreads:
From the #1 international bestselling author of The Lost Wife and The Velvet Hours comes an emotionally charged story about a mother’s love, a teacher’s promise, and a child’s heart…..
Katya, a rising ballerina, and Sasha, a graduate student, are young and in love when an unexpected tragedy befalls their native Kiev. Years later, after the couple has safely emigrated to America the consequences of this incident cause their son, Yuri, to be born with a rare health condition that isolates him from other children. Maggie, a passionate and dedicated teacher agrees to tutor Yuri at his home, even though she is haunted by her own painful childhood memories. As the two forge a deep and soulful connection, Yuri’s boundless curiosity and unique wisdom inspires Maggie to make difficult changes in her own life. And she’ll never realize just how strong Yuri has made her — until she needs that strength the most……
A novel that will make readers examine what it means to live life with a full heart.
