The Five People You Meet in Heaven 
By Mitch Albom
Genre: Adult Fiction
Personal Rating: 10/10

This story begins with an end, the end of 83-year-old Eddie's life. Eddie had worked almost his entire life as an amusement park maintenance man--fixing broken rides, and keeping them safe. He never thought he lived much of a life, and then one day a terrible accident occurs at the park and Eddie dies trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. In heaven, Eddie meets five people who explains his life to him. These five people impacted Eddie's life in different ways, and he impacted their lives as well. With each person he meets and each story he hears, Eddie begins to see the meaning his life held and his purpose on Earth.

This was definitely one of the most inspirational books I've read. It has such a strong message about how we impact the lives of those around us, even though we may never know to what extent. All our lives intersect and nothing is random. And no life, however short, is meaningless.

The writing in this book is rich and the story absolutely captivating. A definite must read!
