The Five People You Meet in Heaven

by Mitch Albom

From the bestselling author of Tuesdays with Morrie comes a profoundly moving novel about life, loss, and the unexpected links that bind us. Eddie, a war veteran and amusement park maintenance man, dies a hero trying to save a young girl. He awakens in the afterlife to find that heaven isn't a place, but a revelation. Five people, some familiar, some strangers, guide him through his life, revealing the hidden meaning behind his experiences and answering the haunting question: Why was I here?
