The story begins with Eddie’s death in a tragic accident at Ruby Pier. But that only makes sense when this is a story, a fable, of what happens when we die. Eddie meets five different people from his life who explain all the unanswered questions and events of his life. With each person, Eddie learns something that brings him more peace about his life and to his continuing life, lessons that would bring peace to those still living as well.
I enjoyed this book until sometime into Eddie’s meeting with the fourth person, and then all of a sudden, it didn’t sit well with me at all, something about it just seemed so wrong to me. A lot of people have liked it, there is a lot to think about from this book, and the book is well written. But because of that gut reaction I had at the end, I don’t know if I’d ever read it again.
