How far to heaven

the long version

"At the end of the twentieth century, a woman's awakening passion takes her on a journey of self-discovery. Sorely wounded and disillusioned after a second failed marriage and the death of her parents, Elizabeth Burroe, a masseuse by trade, is introduced in unexpected ways to the mysterious world of erotic bliss where she works though four labors that forge her into the woman she was always meant to be. Based on the myth of Psyche and Eros, How far to heaven is at once a simmering love story, an intimate portrayal of the rugged green beauty of the Pacific Northwest and an intriguing illustration of how mythology can play itself out in our daily life."--Page [] 4 of cover.
