The Five People You Meet in Heaven

From the bestselling author of Tuesdays with Morrie, a war veteran encounters the true significance of life after death in this touching modern classic.

On his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic amusement park ride accident in an attempt to save a little girl's life. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by both loved ones and distant strangers.

As the story builds to its stunning conclusion, Eddie desperately seeks redemption in the still-unknown last act of his life: Was it a heroic success or a devastating failure? The answer, which comes from the most unlikely of sources, is as inspirational as a glimpse of heaven itself.

In The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom will change everything you've ever thought about the afterlife--and the meaning of our lives here on earth.
