Head in the Clouds Karen Witemeyer 9780764207563 Books

I was drawn to this book by the cover; it looked fun. It's of a gal from Texas reading a book and twirling her hair. I anticipated the review copy because I wanted to know who this woman in yellow was on the front.. I also hadn't read anything by Karen Witemeyer . I had heard good things about her. I couldn't wait to read Head in the Clouds and find out for myself.

I was pleasantly surprised by what I found inside the pages of this novel. From the cover, I imagined this to be about a girl who was an avid reader and day-dreamed so much she kept her Head in the Clouds. You can tell she is not paying attention as she takes the next step, because she's about to fall of the front porch. WOW, was I wrong about this book!! Adelaide Proctor was a dreamer of sorts, she's a smart girl, someone who could hold her own, I was right about being an avid reader. Adelaide wasn't afraid to speak what was on her mind. She had dreamed of having a family someday, but she wouldn't waste her life waiting for a knight in shining armor to arrive and sweep her away. She had talents and thoughts of her own. No man was going to push her around.

Gideon Westcott was making a new life in America after leaving his privileged up bringing in England. He was thankful for his fresh start and the young girl that made the little things in life so valuable. Isabella was five-years-old and had captured his heart. He was in search of a governess to help educate his little one. He ran an ad for so long time and still hadn't met a single suitable governess.

I was captivated by Adelaide's spunk, determination and willingness to earnestly seek God's will for her life. She was a strong woman who could be tender and sensitive. I immediately adored Gideon Westcott and his determination to do the right thing, the zest he had for life and the tenderness he had towards Bella. He wanted the best for her and the people that worked for him, too.

Karen Witmeyer's debut book was Taylor-Made Bride. I'll have to check that one out for sure, since I enjoyed Head in the Clouds so much. I'm thrilled to find another author that is witty, interesting, funny and creates characters I instantly care about. This is an author to watch. I know that I will be!

Head in the Clouds Karen Witemeyer 9780764207563 Books Reviews

This is a clean, Christian romance. The general description falls short of giving a true sense of this story. The female protagonist is strong and intelligent. Her mother died when she was two and she was raised by her father on his cattle ranch. She can ride and shoot with the best of them. At sixteen she is sent to a Boston finishing school and from there spends two years as a school teacher in an upscale school. It is at the end of her two year contract as a teacher that the story begins. The male protagonist is the third son of an English aristocrat. Tired of the trivial lifestyle he was leading in England, he decided to make his fortune in the wool industry i.e., he became a Texas sheep farmer. On the way home from a visit to see his family in England he met a dying widow on the ship. She was adamant that her brother in law not get custody of her five year old daughter. She amended her will to give guardianship to Gideon (protagonist) along with control of the child's inheritance. Gideon soon fell in love with the child and considered her as his daughter. The antagonist is the child's uncle. He is evil and desperate for the inheritance and will do anything to get it, including murder.

I thought this was going to be a fluffy book with little substance. I was wrong. It offered humour, sadness, intrigue, danger, spiritual insight, and more than one sigh. Wonderful characters that you either love or hate are well drawn. The editing is well done and the end is complete and satisfying.
No spoilers here because you will want to experience each moment for yourself. I have been waiting to read this book because Karen Witemeyer is a favorite author who never disappoints. She blends humor, action spurred on by the villains, and multilayered characters into a relatable story. I love the Biblical references and how Addie especially applied it to her life. I loved Gideon, Isabella, and Adelaide and all the other characters. In this and other books by Karen, her characters have compassion for one another’s actions often influenced by their past experiences. Her characters also ultimately seek forgiveness when they are wrong. I think this story would be a great movie as entertainment and to highlight compassion and forgiveness we need to see more of in this world!
Adelaide Proctor was a schoolteacher, with a two year contract not to marry. The traveling salesman she bought books from had her dreaming of marriage. When he told her he would be permanently in Fort Worth as a Regional manger. She was sure he would change his mind once she got there. A dining place he had mentioned, when he was in town, sounded like a good place to eat, and find out where Henry lived. Only to hear his name and noticed that he had a family. Realizing it was a dream of romance, not love. What to do, when an ad for a governess she spots in the paper. The child was to chose which governess she wanted and the bonding with Miss Porter having lost her father, sealed it, Circumstances and changes await for them, a child to speak, and to love. A family in time to share the laughter with and make a home, a delightful story of how it comes about.
