In Michelle Miller’s Where the Clouds Cannot Find Me Revisited, Marisol is a mother in Mobile, Alabama, whose life narrows to a single imperative after her infant son Jacob Oliver is rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. As doctors work to stabilize Jake, Marisol is drawn into an investigation that puts her decisions, living arrangements, and past relationships under scrutiny. Conflicting accounts emerge from those closest to her, including her estranged husband Derek Oliver and family acquaintance Butch Hardesty, while medical findings point the case toward a criminal inquiry. Inside the hospital, Marisol manages interviews with the authorities and strained family encounters while trying to remain near her child. Outside it, long-buried family histories begin to surface, following Marisol through the days when Jake’s survival and her credibility become inseparable.
Michelle Miller’s Where the Clouds Cannot Find Me Revisited is a literary crime novel that leans into the aftermath of catastrophic injuries to Marisol’s infant son, and conflicting explanations that give no answers. Marisol becomes so real on the page. She isn't perfect and has the habitual deference to louder personalities that many readers will be able to relate to. That changes as the issues rise, and there's a fist-pump moment when she insists on immediate medical action for her child during a crisis. Her friend Kim, who is also a point of view character, is equally fleshed out, managing communications, shielding Marisol, and getting a place for her to rest when others withdraw. The settings are supremely visual. A courthouse hallway has echoing footsteps and closed doors, and West Mobile is framed through rain-smeared glass, failing streetlights, and sirens. Overall, this is crime fiction with real heart. Very highly recommended.
