A Storm of Infinite Beauty reveals beauty on many levels: physically, emotionally, even spiritually as Julienne MacLean’s characters learn to rise above life’s clutter and come to see unvarnished truth. It’s a book to savor and reread. Gwen, the custodian of her relative’s public life as a famous movie star and song writer, gets involved in learning about her relative’s very private unknown life when photographer and contracted book author, Peter arrives with a surprising photo that might refute some of the public narrative. Gwen soon comes to realize she has more in common with her relative than she ever could have imagined. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley. Most highly recommend.

Thanks so much to Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley.

Scarlett was a true Hollywood legend who died alone with no children.

Gwen is a curator of the museum dedicated to Scarlett's life. Peter, a biographer, shows up with an old newspaper article that could be proof of a life in exile and a secret baby that no one knew about. They set out for Alaska to investigate.

This was such a great novel, and Julianne MacLean crafts a story with secrets in the past as well as new hope for the present. I was so curious to find out about Scarlett as well as what was going to happen with Gwen as she dealt with her own losses to figure out how to move on in her life. I really enjoyed this one.
