A older woman who never had a family of her own cared for others her entire life, until two unexpected people came and cared for her.
Goodreads blurb;
“Gentle Julia Cloud has devoted her life to caring for others. After her invalids mother’s death, she is without financial means to live on her own. Having just rejected her cruel and selfish youngers sister’s offer to come live with her-she is forced to thinking of a bleak future. Then out of the blue her niece and nephew appear to proposition her into joining them in a new exciting adventure. Through her new adventures and experiences more love and happiness than she could ever imagine.”
This book was heartwarming and refreshing to read. It reminded me heavily of Aunt Cretes Emancipation but more fleshed out, kind of what would have happened if the book was longer. I truly enjoyed the love the niece and nephew showered on Cloudy Jewel but more so how they appreciated, loved, and truly listened to her opinions. If Julia’s opinion was set on something, the niece and nephew might not understand, but they love and respect her so much they will respect and never go against it. Even if they do go against it, soon enough they would be back home apologizing. It was an easy read and was heavy with christian/religious undertones as well as main topics. Definitely recommend reading and will read it again.
