Falling To Heaven A Novel by Jeanne Peterson
In 1954 Emma and Gerald Kittredge leave their secure Quaker community for a Tibetan town. Their neighbors are Dorje, Rinchen, and their sons. The arrival of Maoist soldiers shatters their world. Gerald is captured by the soldiers, leaving a pregnant Emma to rely on her Tibetan neighbors. Told in three distinct voices rich in their respective spiritual traditions, Falling to Heaven is ultimately a novel about faith: losing it and rediscovering it in places you’d never expect.
