About Cloud and Fire

From the publisher's feed

We have all heard the phrase, life is a journey. Although it is a bit of a cliché, it is rooted in truth. Our lives are filled with twists and turns, some expected, others unexpected, some joyful, others devastating. We cannot track where one chapter of our life ends and the next begins. We always seem to be tangled up somewhere in the middle. Life’s complexities are to be expected, but all of us need an anchor to steady ourselves.
