Description
In this enchanting sequel to the #1 bestseller The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom tells the story of Eddie’s heavenly reunion with Annie—the little girl he saved on earth—in an unforgettable novel of how our lives and losses intersect.
In Mitch Albom’s beloved novel, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, the world fell in love with Eddie, a grizzled war veteran-turned-amusement park mechanic who died saving the life of a young girl named Annie. Eddie’s journey to heaven taught him that every life matters. Now, in this magical sequel, Albom reveals Annie’s story.
The accident that killed Eddie left an indelible mark on Annie. It took her left hand, which needed to be surgically reattached. Injured, scarred, and unable to remember why, Annie’s life is forever changed by a guilt-ravaged mother who whisks her away from the world she knew. Bullied by her peers and haunted by something she cannot recall, Annie struggles to find acceptance as she grows. When, as a young woman, she reconnects with Paulo, her childhood love, she believes she has finally found happiness.
As the novel opens, Annie is marrying Paulo. But when her wedding night day ends in an unimaginable accident, Annie finds herself on her own heavenly journey—and an inevitable reunion with Eddie, one of the five people who will show her how her life mattered in ways she could not have fathomed.
Poignant and beautiful, filled with unexpected twists, The Next Person You Meet in Heaven reminds us that not only does every life matter, but that every ending is also a beginning—we only need to open our eyes to see it.

5By sleepyblackboyThis book was just as good, if not better than, the first book. I blew threw the pages so quickly and became so attached to the characters. 10/10 would recommend.Smooth Run
4By O KeeysAn open streak read… All sectors were eventually put together by detail when the dialogue completed in each chapter. I’m happy to have felt that relationship paths will always make a person be uplifted when due.Cleanse the Soul
5By JenoPsychNPComing from a nurse, this will tear at the fiber of our being. Nurturing our souls and validation of why we do what we do. Each of us has a story. Mostly, we give the gift of hope but forget why. This book brings to the the importance of forgiveness, hope, and acceptance through the eyes of the main character. The protagonist being our own self.Wonderful

5By I....W...7I read this book in four hours. I couldn’t put it down until it was done. My husband and kids had to fend for themselves last night because there was no dinner. Oops...😁 I wish I had read the first book but a co worker of mine gave this one to me and said I should read it. I am definitely getting the first one and whatever Mitch has next. Great job!!!Loved this book
