Description

About the Book:

From the #1 internationally bestselling author of "The Lost Wife" and "The Velvet Hours" comes an emotionally charged story about a mother's love, a teacher's journey, 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, when the couple has safely emigrated to America, their son, Yuri, will be born with a rare health condition that isolates him from other children.
When a passionate and dedicated teacher, Maggie Topper, is assigned to tutor Yuri, she finds herself forced to confront her own painful childhood memories. As the two forge a deep and soulful connection, Yuri's boundless curiosity and unique wisdom will inspire 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.
The Secret of Clouds is a journey of a mother and her son, and a teacher and her student. A story that will make readers examine what it means to actually live life with a full heart.
