About the book
Eddie, an elderly ride mechanic at an amusement park, dies in an accident on his 83rd birthday while trying to rescue a young girl. He wakes in the afterlife, where he is told he will pass through five stages, each time meeting someone whose life was tied to his own, either because that person shaped him or because he shaped theirs. Inspired by the author's uncle, the novel moves between Eddie's years on earth and these encounters. Through them, Eddie searches for the meaning of his life and the ways it connected him to others.
