Synopsis
A fast-paced, romantic tale about what happens when a strife-torn country requests a spiritual intervention instead of a military one.
First came Shangri-La. Now: Eluria.
"We are racing down the path of death and destruction, as if whoever reached rock bottom first would receive a crown of laurels instead of thorns. We do not have to continue along this path. There is another way." There are teachers who can aid us, men and women from around the world who will come and help us put an end to this insanity, this anger, this hatred, this war. They are holy people who see only the holiness in others, but they will not come unless we ask them. Ladies and gentlemen, I propose that we ask them."—Paula Keelor, addressing the National Assembly of Eluria.
Will Paula succeed in convincing her countrymen on this war-torn island off the coast of Africa to sign a petition requesting a spiritual intervention? What happens next...and what happened before? How did Paula and Kyle Hansen, the American who aids Paula in her quest for peace as he quests for love, evolve to arrive at this moment?
And who on earth is Frankee Waa?
Heaven on Earth is a novel for the 21st century presenting a compelling alternative to war!

September 09, 2001: Heaven on Earth is a wonderful novel. There are interesting characters, lots of action, and clever intersecting plots. It comes to life through the realistic, multi-dimensional characters and strikingly vivid descriptions. Having recently read Poisonwood Bible and King Leopold's Ghost, I found an especially strong connection with the island of Eluria. The deeper messages of Heaven on Earth were thoughtfully woven throughout and kept this reader both engaged in a fascinating novel and in reflection of how the messages apply to myself and to the broader universe. I recommend it as an engaging read for anyone.

May 06, 2001: Heaven on Earth is an entertaining and lively story of an island nation in the midst of a civil war due to racial strife. The fast-paced narrative has romance and suspense, with clever plot twists you'll never see coming. I couldn't put it down; I had no idea what might happen next. In addition, the book has a thought provoking spiritual dimension. Donna presents the unique alternative of a spiritual intervention as a way to end the war and resolve the conflicts without a winning or losing side. Her unique alternative to the 'business as usual' of going to war presents ideas for us all to live in peaceful harmony.
