USA Today best-selling author Julianne MacLean continues her Color of Heaven series with another fast-paced, emotionally gripping tale that will move and inspire you. Carla Matthews is a single mother struggling to make ends meet and give her daughter Kaleigh a decent upbringing. When Kaleigh's absent father Seth - a famous alpine climber who never wanted to be tied down - begs for a second chance at fatherhood, Carla is hesitant because she doesn't want to pin her hopes on a man who is always seeking another mountain to scale. A man who was never willing to stay put in one place and raise a family. But when Seth's plane goes missing after a crash landing in the harsh Canadian wilderness, Carla must wait for news… Is he dead or alive? Will the wreckage ever be found? One year later, after having given up all hope, Carla receives a shocking phone call. A man has been found, half-dead, floating on an iceberg in the North Atlantic, uttering her name. Is this Seth? And is it possible that he will come home to her and Kaleigh at last, and be the man she always dreamed he would be?

I enjoyed the development of each of the characters, and the fact that at times I felt I knew where the storyline was headed, only to be surprised. There were elements of the story that were heartbreaking, but believable. When reading a series of books, without having read those written earlier, it leaves you wanting more. Yes, I have questions regarding “what happens next to …”, but I will now have to read the earlier stories. I look forward to that!

3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting metaphysical premise, based on a diary of a plane crash survivor.
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2015

I'm not sure what to think of a heroine, Carla, who falls for a "free spirited" man, Seth, who lives to climb the next mountain, whether it be Everest or K2. At seventeen she bares his child alone while he's off on another mountain top. Years later, he has a change of heart after a near death experience and she agrees to marry him. As soon as he is back on his feet, he is off again. He communicates irregularly and sends money sometimes. Their daughter doesn't know him, but Carla can't seem to move on. When his plane goes down over the north atlantic on the way to Iceland, no wreckage is found and the search is cancelled after a week. A few months after the memorial service, she meets Josh, a very nice policeman with a large loving family, and she finally removes her wedding ring. I'm all for keeping marriage vows (been married since 1971) but what kind of message is she sending to her 12 year old daughter by staying in a relationship to a completely egocentric man, who obviously cares very little for his wife and child. Carla wrestles with the fact that her daughter needs a dad she can depend on, but continues to wear his ring after the memorial. Her daughter feels guilty for not mourning the father she never knew. Months later, while preparing for a big date with Josh (who has a question for her,) a gut wrenching call comes from a nurse in Newfoundland that Seth has been found, but is unconscious and in critical condition. She, her mother-in-law and her daughter rush to his bed side only to receive a greater an even greater shock. Her life is at a crossroads. What will she decide. The plot follows a journal started by Seth following the crash. He regrets the promises he hasn't kept and makes a bargain with God to do better if he lives. During the year, his wife has flashes of consciousness that seem to tie her to the survivors. Fate is intermittently combined with God and prayers as a source for the connection. The ending is not necessarily surprising, as the author includes sufficient hints along the way. At the end, the reader is still left wondering what the characters attribute the miraculous recovery and the happy resolution to. Is it fate, some quasi personal higher power, or the One God worshipped by much of the world, albeit in a variety of ways? Perhaps if I'd read the previous books in this series, I would be in less a muddle. Apparently, the author is leaving it to the reader to decide. It seems to be a story somewhat in a class of its own. The pace is relatively slow but the plot sufficiently varied too keep me reading. The characters are interesting and I may pick up the next to find out what happens to the guy our heroine left behind. I've learned after many years of living that this world is a crazy place and its inhabitants sometimes more so, therefore I couldn't rule out the possibilities represented in this tale. Just about anyone may find this a book of interest. There were no issues with language or graphic scenes that would rule out younger or sensitive readers.

5 stars all the way. Once you start reading this book, you'll resent anything that will cause you to have to put it down even for 5 minutes!! This was a well written story that takes you on a very unusual journey. But the ending is what l hoped for and l wasn't disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Winner In This Series
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 26, 2021

Another winner in this series (though another that ends at the 80% mark cos' the remainder is taken up with excerpts from her other books). I had to reopen the previous book to remind myself of the characters and how they're all related once more as I forget when I've left them for a while. I do like how they all weave into one big, happy family, however discordant, in one way or another in each tale.
The cover's a lovely one on this one, too, though none have topped The Color of Heaven's cover for me. That one is a real beaut.
I guessed how this story was going to play out, which is rare for me and I did feel exceedingly bad for one particular character, though no spoilers here. They were treated a little shabbily for my liking but said character features in the next instalment, I read, so perhaps they'll be OK......things got a little rushed toward the end which was a bit of a shame. I'd have liked to see more of a certain courtship and less of the days playing Robinson Crusoe !!
We did get told too many times near the start that Seth needed to conserve his phone's battery......we got it, the first time of mentioning !! We was written and not he at one point, then we had breach not breech. She also had visitor's and not visitors' written but at other times her apostrophes were all properly positioned so someone messed that up by not spotting it.
However, once again a thought-provoking and nice story by the author, who rarely puts a foot wrong for me.

Delightful story of survival, determination and love grown from connection and loneliness - a fictional story which feels like it could be true - stranger things have happened. I loved the interaction between Carla and her daughter, and between the other male characters. Carla is a very likeable person, and someone that would make a great, caring friend.

This author knows how to write unique and unusual stories, and her talent does not disappoint - not in the Color Series or any of her stand-alones. She's an author you will want to follow. I have read about 10 of her books so far, and enjoying them all.

Following the fate of another character introduced in the previous novel, Carla and her daughter Kayleigh can’t believe it when they are told that Seth, Kayleigh’s father has been found after a plane crash a year later. This puts Carla on a trajectory with her fate, was it always meant to be? Loving these books!
