The Five People You Meet in HeavenThe Five People You Meet in Heaven

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 - from the Loop-the-Loop to the Pipeline Plunge - so, too, has Eddie changed, from optimistic youth to embittered old age. His days are a dull routine of work, loneliness, and regret. Then, on his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic accident . . .he awakens in the afterlife, where he learns 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.
