From USA Today bestselling author Julianne MacLean comes an inspiring novel about secrets, forgiveness, and second chances. It’s the newest title in her popular Color of Heaven Series, where people are affected by real life magic and miracles that change everything they once believed about life and love.It’s been three years since Emma Cochran endured the worst possible tragedy—the sudden, … sudden, unexpected death of her four-year-old son. The emotional trauma tore her marriage apart, but now her divorce is final and she wants to begin again. She’s found happiness at last with her fiancé, Luke, who is eager to start a family with her.
On the other side of the country, single mother Bev Hutchinson watches helplessly as her five-year-old daughter Louise drowns in a high-profile boating accident. Miraculously, Louise is brought back to life by first-responders, then claims she went to heaven. The news causes a media frenzy surrounding the little girl, and Bev does everything she can to shield herself and her daughter from the relentless swarming of the press.
Lives collide when Emma becomes obsessed with the story of the child, thousands of miles away, who drowned and went to heaven. She wants to connect with the mother, but Emma’s fiancé is against the idea because he wants her to let go of her grief and move on.
But sometimes, moving on isn’t the right choice when miracles are leading you back to your past—toward something, or someone, who was your destiny all along.

The Color of a Silver Lining is serendipity at its best. Julianne MacLean’s writing draws you in and doesn’t let go. This is the kind of story where you keep checking where you are in the reading…because you don’t want it to end. But when it does, sigh, it socks you right in the feels!
A sweet, hopeful story…
I love Julianne McLean. Her books are so good.
It is a tragic but also so interesting
I have read a few different books written by this author and have enjoyed each and everyone. She makes the characters come alive with feelings and actions so well pronounced. I highly recommend her books.
Great and satisfying read.
Loved this book!!! I love this re-incarnation genre!!! Have read two more of her books!!! They are great!!!
The characters in this story seem to jump off the pages and become part of your life. Interesting story of two mothers, tragedies involving their children and how they deal with it in their lives.
Enjoyed this book. It was refreshing to read a good story without porn or ill language. It is the story about a mother that loses her young son and continues to blame herself until she hears a story about another mother that loses her daughter the same way but the little girl is brought back to life with an interesting story about the after life. Telling any more would spoil the story so I will stop here. The characters come to life and reading pages is like watching a movie; the author just is fabulous at great characterization.
Julieanne Maclean writes well and I find her books intriguing
This entertains read makes you realize that yes there can be a silver lining.
This is part of a series of “The Color of ….” books, but it is a good stand-alone read. The characters have been beautifully developed and show a wide range of emotions.
I thought this book was very well written and definitely kept me reading right through the whole book. Couldn’t put it down. Had to see how it was going to end. Scary, then special. I thought it was definitely worth reading and very moving.
Great book could not put it down.
Formula characters but pleasant.
Color series are capitivating
Good read! Enjoyed it a lot.
This book shows how unpredictable life can be. When life seems the pits, then a tiny window of hope appears. Is this God working? You decide.
I wish there were more than 13 books in this series!
You will want to read The Color of a Silver Lining in one sitting because it is too good to put down. It is so inspirational and a bright light in our sometimes gloomy world. Julianne is truly a gifted author.
