Blurb: How Far Is Heaven

Parker and Priscilla Wilfork are happily married with two children. Life seemed perfect and peaceful until Parker goes on a business trip and does not return. Priscilla finds her world turned upside down when she searches for answers to how and why Parker disappeared.

One night Priscilla has a dream that Parker is an angel. Does this mean that Parker is now dead? After two years and no sign of Parker except in her dreams, Priscilla makes the decision to tell her children that their father has gone to Heaven.

Priscilla tries to get their lives back together until one day Deanna disappears too. Now Priscilla must go on a quest to find her daughter before it’s too late. She fears her daughter’s disappearance might be connected in some way to her husband’s. Can Priscilla go on with her life if she loses Deanna too?

With the help of a handsome police Sergeant, Blake Furelli, they work together to try to find Deanna and solve the mystery behind Parker’s disappearance. During this trying time, Blake, who suffered a loss of his own, feels drawn to the ethereal beauty of Priscilla.

Balroop Singh5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping and positive storyReviewed in the United States on February 16, 2020Format: Kindle EditionHow Far Is Heaven by J.E. Spina is a poignant story of Priscilla whose blissful life takes a sudden turn just with one incident – the mysterious disappearance of her husband. This book is a page-turner, as Spina keeps the readers on tenterhooks, keeping the hopes alive with the investigations and telling her children that their dad would return soon. Despite the darker aspects, this is a heart-warming and feel-good story that breathes positivity.

Spina’s style is simple yet gripping, as she doesn’t waste a single word in dragging the story or dwelling on the emotional upheavals. Her characters find a quick solution to their problems; even Deanna knows how to handle the situation she was placed in. Parker’s presence adds a special charm to the story. Only Blake seems to be implausible but he has his own reasons for being so sweet. Highly recommended.
