Eddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in a meaningless life of fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. As the park has changed over the years - so has Eddie changed, from optimistic youth to embittered old age. Then, on his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic accident, trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. 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 five people wwho were in it. These people may have been loved ones or distant stangers. Yet each of them changed your path forever. A sweet, entertaining and wise book. It certainly held my attention throughout.
