On a beautiful, spring afternoon, a broken man stands at his
wife’s funeral and hears the words, “Heaven Enough.” Thus begins 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…
