From the author of the phenomenal TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE, comes this enchanting, beautifully written novel that explores a mystery only heaven can unfold. Eddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in the toil of his father before him, fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. The war left him wounded and his days tumbled into one another, loneliness, regret and sad dreams of what could have been. Then on his eighty-third birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic accident, trying to save a young girl who is in the path of a falling cart from the "Free Fall" ride. With his final breath, he feels two small hands in his - and then nothing. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is a place where your earthly life is explained to you by five people who were in it. As each of his guides lead him through heaven, Eddie discovers a little bit more about what his time on earth meant, what he was supposed to have learned, and what his purpose in life truly was. The answer is as magical and inspirational as a glimpse of heaven itself.
