Alex and Matt Morgan are born in northern California but eventually find themselves living in the Seattle area during an era of unbridled change and new possibilities.

They will do drugs, play rock 'n roll, search for love and engage in the political battles that have rocked the nation over the past three decades. One brother chooses the security of a union job and the other opts for a career in conservative talk radio.

They both endure heartbreak and loss along the way, battered by moments of unexpected violence and plain old bad luck. But nothing can prepare them for one strong-willed woman named Melissa...

4.0 out of 5 stars A modern story of brothers
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2013
Verified Purchase
As a Seattle native I was excited to read a story set in my city spanning several decades to see how it was interpreted through other eyes. The local references didn't disappoint and added a nice bonus element into the story for me. The author gives both brothers fair "air time" and I felt a connection with both. I did wish for more confrontation and found myself frustrated at points in the story as I was expecting the other shoe to drop. This all had its purpose and tied up nicely into a brilliant ending.

The author does go into detail about historical events in the form of general background at several points rather than describing it entirely through the characters eyes. I think this would give those in and spanning both sides of the baby boomer generation a time to reflect on what their own thoughts of the event were as well as how the characters react. It's an ambition novel with a wide cast of characters and you get to experience the evolution of brothers relationship over a lifetime. I enjoyed the ride and look forward to the next novel by James Hawthorne.

Seems like a personal memoir. I am guessing that Alex is a thinly veiled stand in for the author's own experiences. The ending threw me for a loop.

4.0 out of 5 stars a journey into complicated brotherhood
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2013
Verified Purchase
I was drawn into this saga of Alex and Matt and the complicated relationship of brothers connected by love, but divided by politics. I loved how the author was able to use music and world events to bring clarity to a ever changing world over a few decades with the brothers. I did find myself at times wishing for more depth into the feelings of the brothers and Melissa. I absolutely was drawn into how the characters in searching for a meaning to life were always brought back to the one thing that grounded them, their relationship with each other. The book has a stunning and surrealistic ending that left the reader with many questions and wanting to know more. A fun and interesting read. Any baby boomer reading this will relate and enjoy the many references in the book that they can relate to. Well done.

4.0 out of 5 stars An ambitious, heartfelt story of love and loss
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2012
Verified Purchase
We All Have Our Heaven is a warm, thoughtful story that tracks the lives and loves of two very different brothers over many decades. The novel's greatest strengths are the author's obvious affection for his large cast of characters (even some of its most flawed members) and the gently humorous tone maintained throughout--there are lots of laughs to leaven the hard moments. The book is packed with political and psychological insights that, if not always integrated into the story (they tend to simply be presented to the readers whole, rather than rising to us from within the unfolding drama), are always thought-provoking. The episodic plot proceeds at a leisurely pace and I seldom felt pressed down into what feels like the "lived experience" of the moments described, but I nonetheless came away moved by the story. Worth the trip!

5.0 out of 5 stars A slice of America
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2015

This book reminded me of a James Mitchener novel that spans the generations. It starts with Alex at a coffee shop, and little by little learn more about what makes him tick is revealed as we flash back to his parents and his wife's parents, then his friends in school, and his business friends, and his son's life, The life of Alex and his brother growing up and then going their separate ways, is a slice of America that all of us can relate to. As World events happen like Nine-Eleven when the Trade Towers came down in NYC, we're right there with Alex as he watches it unfold. We're there with him as he finds the girl of his dreams and falls in love and gets married only to see it all fall apart. The writing is excellent and the scenes so familiar and familial. A feel good book like "Giant" by Edna Ferber.

I couldn't wait to start this book and it didn't disappoint. As a Seattle native, it was fun to recognize places described and the author did not disappoint. I enjoyed the story of the brothers journey; that said, there were parts of the book that seemed a bit disjointed and out of sequence. I still enjoyed the book and look forward to this author's next book!

James is a great writer and does a wonderful job creating interesting characters and story lines. I loved reading about the Morgan brothers from their childhood through adult hood and where their lives took them. I highly recommend We All Have Our Heaven. You won't be disappointed!
