This is Connie’s 8th book. She has written mystery and family-based drama. She loves outdoor activities like golf, walking and more.
I still have not understood why the novel is called every cloud.
The genre of this book is family drama. This It talks about four siblings and their lives. Jillian, Gus Betsy and Demetri. Their childhood home is called Moorings. They all have different problems to solve and hence all come home. All their stories are woven into one . All the children are raised by a father figure. But both the parents are away on a holiday.
Could it be that the children find the parents disactriction ?
You could say the book is about people who are trying to recover.
