Heaven Enough Is 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…

Virginia’s review:

Have you ever read a book that sort of came out of nowhere for you and you are so glad it did? A book you never heard of and no one you know has read? A book you loved and can’t believe more people don’t know about? Heaven Enough is one of those books for me. I had never heard of it or the author, Ken LaSalle, and then I was asked to review it for Stephanie’s Book Reports and here I am recommending it to all of you because I really believe you will enjoy it. I know I did.

Matt’s wife, Diva, passes away and Matt realizes that perhaps he didn’t know her as well as he thought he did. He is left with so many questions surrounding her death and about who she really was. After finding information on her computer about the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail), Matt decides to hike the trail thinking this is what Diva would have wanted. What he actually learns about himself and his marriage and how he grows as a person while on the trail is remarkable.

Heaven Enough is moving, inspiring and powerful. It’s well written, poignant, and beautiful. As well, it’s very clever and witty. It will make you think. Ken did a great job with the storyline- there are quite a few surprises and twists I never expected; it’s very creative. There is love, there is romance, there is sorrow and grief, there are so many emotions. And there are some great characters in the book that will really touch you- from Heather, to Neal, to Babette- they all are excellent additions to the story.

Heaven Enough is unlike the books I typically read but I am so glad I read it! I highly recommend it. Take a chance and read it- you won’t be sorry!!
