Description Theodora yearns for the sacred: she's hung around nuns, been transported by Bach, wept at the beauty of the Sufis, and underlined everything in The Tibetan Book of the Dead. She also loves Celeste: their life together is abundant, bliss-ridden, meant-to-be, made in Heaven... or is it? How can she find a home for her spiritual instincts when religions condemn the very love of her life?
