Heaven Enough
The Heaven Series Book 1
by Ken La Salle
On a beautiful, spring afternoon, a broken man stands at his wife’s funeral and hears the words, “Heaven Enough.” Thus begins a poem about longing, about wishing for something more. “What would it be like if I had heaven enough?” it reads.
Matt Murphy reads these words for the first time at his wife’s funeral. After a death shrouded with mystery, it is the first time he learns that she wrote poetry. He and Diva were married for nearly twenty years, yet he did not “know” her. A poet and lover of culinary delights, she is struck by a car and killed instantly—randomly—on the wrong side of town.
When her brother, the “monk,” appears for the funeral, Matt is set on an unprecedented course. The two find Diva’s computer filled with preparations to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. Over 2600 miles from Mexico to Canada…and she was leaving without her husband.
Matt takes it upon himself to hike the trail and sprinkle her ashes along the way. What happens in the first two hours is dumbfounding.
What happens next changes his life forever…

This was a beautiful, poignant, journey of self-discovery and grief. Although they were together for so long, this book raises the question, how well do we really know the people we love and share our lives with? Devastated by loss, Diva’s husband learns so much about her while also trying to process his grief and come to terms with life without her in it. Watching him come to terms with her not being exactly who he thought she was really drives home the importance of connection, and maintaining the spark and love of close relationships. Matt’s journey and growth were beautiful, even if started from a bit of darkness. My heart broke for him, as his reality was shattered before his eyes. The story is engaging, and there are a few twists. If you’re looking for some magical, life-after-loss, HEA romance, then this isn’t for you. If you want complex characters trying to make their way through life and loss and try to come out better on the other side of it, then this is what you’ll want to read next.
