From the author of the number one "New York Times "bestseller
"Tuesdays with Morrie "comes this long-awaited follow-up.
Eddie is a wounded war veteran, an old man who has lived, in his
mind, an uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a seaside
amusement park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him
as he tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in
the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination. It
s a place where your life is explained to you by five people, some
of whom you knew, others who may have been strangers. One by one,
from childhood to soldier to old age, Eddie s five people revisit
their connections to him on earth, illuminating the mysteries of
his meaningless life, and revealing the haunting secret behind the
eternal question: Why was I here?
A moving and profound contemporary fable, The Five People You Meet
in Heaven is an important reminder of the interconnectedness of us
all.
