The Five People You Meet In Heaven [B1878]

2003 HCDJ in nice clean condition. 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.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Fantastic short read. This book dances perfectly on the silver line of life and death, love and loss, grief and joy. It's been a while since I cried while reading anything. Highly recommend. Mitch Albom has such a gift at telling a story with not very many words."; "I loved this book. It was funny and sincere. It reminds me of the stories my dad tells me about his life growing up. It felt like a warm hug and I'm sad it's over ."; "I really enjoyed this book, the whole idea of it was just really cool. The way it was formatted was amazing and the lessons of talking with people who indirectly but also very directly affected your life is so cool. Would recommend this one for sure, going to read the sequel next."
