Jeanne Peterson’s debut novel, Falling to Heaven, is the story of two American Quakers who trek over the Himalayas into Tibet just as the Chinese are invading. Once there, the American couple forms warm bonds with a Tibetan family. Through the tapestry of these characters, the novel illuminates the journey of Tibet itself, wrenched from its Buddhist heritage and thrust into the twentieth century by a godless Chairman Mao. 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.

Falling to Heaven won the San Diego Book Award’s $3000 first place prize for Best Novel in Progress. Now available from St. Martin’s (US) and One World (UK); foreign rights have also been sold for German and Spanish translations.  >>READ MORE
