Storm Clouds is a story of family, friends, and strangers who are drawn together by forces over which they have no control.
Storm Clouds is the second book in the Home to Clare Harbor series.
Sara Merryn returned to Clare Harbor to make certain her grandparents were safe from what many believed to be the storm of the century. Now they face a storm of another kind that could pose an even greater threat.
Senator Gareth Dyersen knows more than he can share with those who have taken refuge in his isolated mountainside family home. But not all of his secrets have anything to do with what brought him there. Instead they may be what stands between all those he now feels responsible for and the dangers they may soon have to face.

I fell in love with books when I was in the 4th grade and my free period was spent volunteering in the school library. I read every Nancy Drew book there was to check out, discovered collections of myths and fairy tales from around the world, Louisa May Alcott and C.S. Lewis, and decided I wanted my own library. By the end of that summer with the supplies our school librarian graciously provided me my books had due date slips, card pockets, book cards, and black electrical tape on the spine with the first three letters of the author's last name. I still have most of those books. In the hope she could get me involved in something else my mother gave me a camera. Right around the same time my father told me I could use his typewriter when he wasn't using it. The typewriter won. We shared his typewriter but I also filled notebooks with stories scribbled before school, after school, and often when I was supposed to be asleep. Thanks to my mother, who saved just about every single one of those notebooks, I still have them as well. Several years ago my father gave me his typewriter…the same one we shared all those summers ago. Every time I look at it I remember the young 4th grade girl who was quietly encouraged to do what she loved…and years later reminded with a box filled with notebooks crammed full of handwritten stories and dreams. And it’s still not unheard of that I stay up way later than I should with a good book that’s just impossible to put down.
This story really draws you in. The characters are easily visualized. Transition is an issue. There is no indication that the story is ending. It just stops, like slamming on the brakes. You have to read the next book to find out what happens.
I gave this book three stars as it, as well as the first book in the series, leaves the reader hanging unless he purchases the next book. Unless you’re willing to purchase all books in the series, do not read the first one.
