More...Journey to mystical union through the sacred and the profane
Book Description
Have you ever wanted more?...Not more stuff...or success...or fame...but more intimacy, more connection, more mystery, more awe. When Mariah McKenzie finds her husband and her best friend in bed together, she is launched on a forbidding and transcendent journey. Reeling from a life turned upside down, Mariah and her husband Jake don't separate, but resolve to search together for a deeper connection--for more.
"More is just as the title promises. It is much more than a journey of a woman and man finding healing through sexual intimacy, orgasmic pleasure and sensual adventure, all of which it includes. It is the journey of a human spirit moving to inner peacewith herself so she can find divine union with another. It is more than a self-help book. MORE is a book of transcendence that speaks to all people as we attempt to rise above our fears and traumas to our higher selves."
~Asra Q. Nomani is a former Wall Street Journal reporter and the author of Tantrika: Traveling the Road of Divine Love.
