Life affirming fiction from the author of "Tuesdays With Norrie".

A modern take on Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" and Capra's "It's A Wonderful Life."

Deborah Fochler, August 22, 2007 (view all comments by Deborah Fochler)
This is one of the best books I have ever read. A man gives his life to save a young girl. Then gets to heaven and meets the people who came into his life at different times. Leaves you wondering about how and why certain people come into our lives and how they affect us or how we affect them. Are there really no coincidences? A very easy to read, engrossing and thought provoking novel. One of the best.
