Critics Review

My heart! Clouds over California is one of those stories that nourishes the spirit and fills the soul. Deeply moving and refreshing, Stevie’s story surprised me in every good and meaningful way. I tore through it in one sitting and then wanted to sit with it, like a new but already dear friend. * Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich, author of Operation Sisterhood *
Set against the dreamy backdrop of 1970s Santa Monica, Clouds over California is a touching story about the difficulties of accepting change and the importance of being true to yourself. I absolutely loved spending time in Stevie’s world. * Brandy Colbert, award-winning author of The Only Black Girls in Town *
Clouds over California is a taste of history with the thrills of mystery and brims with family secrets. Karyn Parsons created a sweet, heartfelt story filled with curiosity and hope. * Alicia D. Williams, award-winning author of Genesis Begins Again *
One of the best stories I’ve read in a long while * Emma Carroll, author of Letters from the Lighthouse *
