Women's Fiction Contemporary
When Sara's niece, Janice, is notified that her sharp-witted
aunt, now in her 80s, hasn't been seen for several days,
Janice's panicky drive to find out what's happened begins
our journey of discovering that Sara has led a life very
different from what her relatives and friends assume. Historical events of the mid-to-late 20th Century form a
backdrop to Sara's often tumultuous personal life, which we
follow from Trenton, NJ, to Washington, DC. As Sara visits
an art museum exhibit about Buddhism, we learn of her two
marriages--the first to an abusive man and the second to a
kind man who was involved in top secret projects and who
develops a bizarre illness. We discover her long but secret
love relationship with a woman. And we learn of hidden
booklets which hold the key to yet another secret.
Stylistically innovative, Beyond All Desiring is
realistic and magical, erotic and spiritual. It gives us a
rare look into the heart of a woman who was "different" in a
time of conformity, and who ultimately made a big difference
in the lives of those close to her.
