The Cloud: A Novel

Can prayer really change the outcome of a life?
When a youth pastor and a small group of teens look to the sky and believe they see a sign from God, they are drawn into a moment that will test their faith, their courage, and their willingness to act.

Each of them carries their own struggles, questions, and purpose. But over the course of a single day, they are given something rare, a chance to reach beyond themselves, to seek God, and to make a difference in a way that truly matters.

For Kevin, however, the stakes are far greater.
Lost in fear, uncertainty, and a growing sense of hopelessness, he is walking a dangerous path, one that could lead to irreversible consequences. As his world begins to close in, those around him must confront a powerful question:

Will prayer alone be enough, or will it take both faith and action to change the course of a life?

The Cloud is a moving story of prayer, redemption, and forgiveness. More than that, it is a heartfelt call to young readers to open their eyes and hearts to God, and a reminder that even in the darkest moments, hope is never out of reach.

From the Mom’s Choice Award-winning author of the Rainbow’s Promise series, Mary Clark Dalton continues her mission of guiding young hearts through faith, hope, and life’s challenges.
