Description: "Dana is my life force."

--Christopher Reeve

"A terrible thing happened. I wish it hadn't. But would I change who I married? Never."

--Dana Reeve

He was a hero in every sense of the word--the chiseled-from-granite star of four blockbuster Superman films and the romantic classic Somewhere in Time who, after being paralyzed in a freak horseback riding accident, became a symbol of hope for millions. Dana Reeve was no less heroic, standing steadfastly by her husband's side until his surprisingly sudden and unexpected death at age fifty-two. When Dana, a non-smoker, passed away from lung cancer just seventeen months after Chris's death, she left behind their thirteen-year-old son, Will, to be raised by friends and family. Dana was only forty-four years old.

That fate could have dealt such a cruel hand to this golden couple seemed unfathomable. That they could endure it all with grace, courage, and humor defied belief.

Yet for all the millions of words that have been written about their public causes and private struggles following Chris's accident, little is known about the lives they led as passionate young lovers. Now, in the manner of his poignant-yet-stirring bestsellers Jack and Jackie, Jackie After Jack, An Affair to Remember, The Day Diana Died, After Diana, and The Day John Died, No. l New York Times bestselling author Christopher Andersen draws on those who knew them best to examine in touching detail the Reeves' unique partnership and the romance, faith, and fortitude that defined it.

Sometimes heartbreaking, often uplifting, always compelling, Somewhere in Heaven is more than just a portrait of a marriage. It is the profoundly human story of two souls whose brief lives made a difference, a bittersweet saga of tragedy, triumph, and loss, and--above all else--a love story for the ages.

Review Summary: excellent reading, can't put it down Date: 2008-09-30
 
Details: This is a most excellent story and wonderfully written. They were a great couple.
 
Review Summary: Sweet Love Story Date: 2008-09-13
 
Details: This book was a very sweet love story and true depictiin of "till death do us part." The beginning of the book was a little slow for me but maybe that is because I am not currently in a relationship and I might be a little jealous (ha ha). The book shows how dedicated Dana was and how much she loved Chris. I question myself if I would have done everything Dana did for Chris and I think most people after reading this book would question themselves as well. The book was also very specific as it pertains to the medical trials and tribulations that the Reeve family went through after Chris' accident. I would recommend reading this book. It was a very quick read and I am glad that I finally know exactly what happened after Chris' accident and before Dana's unfortunate passing due to lung cancer.
 
Review Summary: love is Date: 2008-09-12
 
Details: This book was in great condition when I recieved it. I see this book as a tribute to what love truly is!
 
Review Summary: somewhere in heaven Date: 2008-09-12
 
Details: Wow. No no no ... Although I am sure that Chris and Dana lived admirably with their burdens, this book tells instead of shows. How many time can you read that they showed true character and dignity? Author states it over and over. This book reads like a never ending entry in an online guestbook for an obit.
 
Review Summary: Loving story Date: 2008-09-10
 
Details: What a loving story of a very remarkable family. This is not a book seeking sensational readers, it tells the story of a family coping with grace to a very stressful life. I recommend this book to all looking for ways to cope with the horrid experience of "why bad things happen to good people".
