Wilma Schuh goes on a late-life, whimsy-laced, ultimately serious mystical journey. Alone in the world after her centenarian mother's death, Wilma is determined to contact what she decides to call "the god." She expects no human drama, much less violence, but these things come. Also, more varieties of love than she could have imagined. Philosophy (Spinoza, Deleuze), poetry (Rilke, Blake), and art (Francis Bacon) are part of the mix, but love is the essence. Readers comment: "You have managed a blend of simplicity and complexity which I love." "Wilma is totally captivating." "I love Alma." "I love Gracie." "I love Lyle. He totally works for me." "I love the section with Wilma's childhood vision." "Wilma's meditations all work beautifully." "When you started getting into Spinoza I felt a charge of excitement...I might actually be able to understand something vitally important." "Bob Smith, and the whole section on multiple personality: fascinating." "The voices of the dead work beautifully for me every time." "I want to emphasize how much I liked Michael's poetry." "I have finished and I am SATISFIED!"
