內容簡介
 
《在天堂遇見的五個人》
獻給所有認為自己來到人間並沒有什麼意義的人。
故事描寫一個在遊樂園裡的老工人艾迪,自從退伍以後就困在家鄉,每天重複一樣的工作。他認為自己被命運綁住,他認為自己的人生是被沈默卻又暴躁的父親害了。他待在這個海灘小鎮,孤單一人。他只剩下回憶。
在83歲生日這一天,他為了救一個小女孩而喪了命,進了天堂。在天堂裡,艾迪遇見五個曾經出現在他生命裡的人。這五個人逐一對他說出自己的故事,以及他們是什麼時候在人間與艾迪相遇。艾迪逐漸恍然大悟:原來,自己的生命裡一直都有別人的生命;而別人的故事與自己的故事,會在最無法預料的時空,產生交集。
本書要告訴讀者:每一個生命都會碰觸到另一個生命;你所付出的愛,絕對不會白費。你所遇到的人,都會以某種方式再回到生命裡。
假如你認為自己微不足道,讀過這本書後你會明白:每一個人都是重要的。我們來到人間,是為了與別人相遇。
 
Eddie is a wounded war veteran, an old man who has lived, in his mind, an uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him, as he tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination. Itˊs a place where your life is explained to you by five people, some of whom you knew, others who may have been strangers. One by one, from childhood to soldier to old age, Eddieˊs five people revisit their connections to him on earth, illuminating the mysteries of his "meaningless" life, and revealing the haunting secret behind the eternal question: "Why was I here?"
