What would you do with a second chance at life?

Sarah Talbot thought she’d never see another birthday. But against all odds, she beat the illness that could have killed her, reopened her bedding shop, Cloud Nine, and vowed to make the most of a fresh start that few are given. With Thanksgiving approaching, Sarah charters a small plane to take her to Elk Island, a remote spot off the rugged Maine coast where she spent some of her happiest days and where she hopes to reunite with the two most important people in her life. She arrives on the island with pilot Will Burke, a kindred spirit with whom Sarah forges a bond that will give them the courage to confront the past and have faith in the future…no matter how uncertain.

Once Sarah thought happy endings occurred only in books; now she believes they can happen for anyone. And as she and Will grow closer, and something unexpectedly real blossoms between them, she has him believing it, too. But is believing it enough? Is even love enough? Can real life be lived on cloud nine? In this stunning novel, New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice tells a story you will cherish, peopled with indelible characters whose challenges are your own.

    I love Cloud Nine. I cried so many tears because Sarah Talbot’s like my mother. This is the first book I have ever read and it made me love reading. Thank you Ms. Rice!

    Luanne, thank you for such a beautiful story. This is not the first of your books that I have read, but the first I have commented on. I thoroughly enjoy your style of writing. We are never quite sure where you will lead us, and that is so refreshing when most of the books out there are fairly predictable. I would like to ask you though if you would consider giving Mike and Susan a story of their own. I for one would definitely be interested. Thanks in advance for considering it.

    Hi Luanne, I read the Dutch translation of this book years ago when my mother battled cancer as well. It’s such an impressive and emotional book, it has remained on my favorite books list ever since!
