Celia's Heaven: A Novel by Nancy Canyon





 My novel, Celia's Heaven, is now available at bookstores near you. This is a family saga about Celia Monroe and her twin, Star Monroe. They live in a small town in Washington state, Vinegar Valley, where their preacher father has great influence over the community. He isn't supportive of Celia, as he looks down on her profession: exotic dancer, and lets his congregation know that she is a dark smudge on his sense of purity and on their family history. The Monroe family is known for their miraculous healings, though Star Monroe does not resurrect from a drowning accident; however, she does come back from the dead to help Celia remember the bad thing that happened to her as a child. When her daddy moves in with her during a terrible winter storm, things begin to change between Celia and her daddy.



Like a hypnotist, Nancy Canyon lures us into a world more luminous than our everyday lives. She gently allows us to see beyond the veil that separates body from spirit, and we follow her willingly wherever she will take us.
