About this listen
The Grace family is back, facing some of their biggest challenges yet as World War II peaks, then reaches its cataclysmic finale.
Based in 1945 Miami, Cloud Haven begins with a flurry of confusion. Orrance, the Conductor of the Train of Thought, turns up at Gracestone, baffled by the disappearance of Annelisa and his beloved dog, Rumpskin. At the same time, Gloomy Gus' daughter shows up, eager to meet the new husband her ghostly father promised her. Ever-changing Shimmera Amandia "becomes" yet another version of herself, throwing off even hard to rattle Sambria, and eventually drawing in a new character, Wise woman Myrrha Emartla, who may or may not be able to help. In Los Alamos, Humboldt continues to toil, distracted from his dreary, deadly work by his best friend, Eagletail, and a young woman named Penny, who finds him inexplicably interesting. He tries hard to forget he knows Jean-Fils and Soto, who are on an inadvisable "mission" in Japan, while worrying about Annelisa, who can't seem to stay put at Gracestone.
Out in California, Perdi tries to manage the Sweet P's and Zolt the Bolt, who aren't as dedicated to their careers as he'd hoped. Hana finds eternal love while Jessie fights Antoine's attempt to reunite her with her estranged mother. Swag tries to find a woman, and does, only to regret it, except for one small happy detail. Nathan finds himself in Possum City, fighting crime with the help of Clarence. Meanwhile, Heartland is in a state of flux, with Amalfus' grip on control slipping. Gracestone is threatened like never before, forcing Henri has to come up with a plan that will allow him and household to live in peace.
Old situations are put to rest while new ones spring up to set the stage for the follow-up series, The Grace Family Chronicles: The Next Generation, set in the Vietnam War era.

Story
When Marilyn Kleinman is caught making out with the rabbi’s son in front of the whole congregation, her parents ship her off to her great-aunt Ada for the summer. If anyone can save their daughter’s reputation, it’s Philadelphia’s strict premier matchmaker. Either that or Marilyn can kiss college goodbye. To Marilyn’s surprise, Ada’s not the humorless septuagenarian her mother described. Not with that platinum-blonde hair, Hermès scarf, and Cadillac convertible. She’s sharp, straight-talking, takes her job very seriously, and abides by her own rules…mostly.

Story
Caitlyn Sullivan had come from a long line of Hollywood royalty, stretching back to her Irish immigrant great-grandfather. At nine, she was already a star - yet still an innocent child who loved to play hide-and-seek with her cousins at the family home in Big Sur. It was during one of those games that she disappeared. Some may have considered her a pampered princess, but Cate was in fact a smart, scrappy fighter, and she managed to escape her abductors. Callan Cooper was shocked to find the bloodied, exhausted girl huddled in his house.

Story
Quinn Victoria Caine is back in her quirky town of Vienna, Virginia, starting her new life as a bookbinder in her family-owned bookshop. With her trusty German Shephard RBG - Ruff Barker Ginsburg - by her side, what can go wrong? Okay, sure, bumping into her ex Scott or her former high-school nemesis Tricia is a drag. It certainly doesn't help that they’ve acquired the new hobby of shoving their recent engagement in her face every chance they get. But that doesn't mean Quinn wanted to find Tricia dead in the road. So why does half the town think she may have done it?
