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 who were in it. With his final breath, he feels two small hands in his - and then nothing. Then, on his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic accident, trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. His days are a dull routine of work, loneliness, and regret.
As the park has changed over the years - from the Loop-the-Loop to the Pipeline Plunge - so, too, has Eddie changed, from optimistic youth to embittered old age. From the author of the number one New York Times bestseller Tuesdays with Morrie comes this long-awaited follow-up, an enchanting, beautifully crafted novel that explores a mystery only heaven can unfold.Įddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in a meaningless life of fixing rides at a seaside amusement park.
