Title: Everything Happens for a Reason
Review: I love -- LOVE -- this book. There are hundred of reviews, so I'll be brief: An old man dies saving a little girl. In the afterlife, five people -- some he knows, some complete strangers -- take turns explaining how events in his life have impacted the lives of others. Much to his surprise, the lives of others have had an equally profound impact on his own life. The reader learns that at the core of this cynical, resentful old man is a lonely individual who longs for the woman he loves, and the acceptance of an absent father. This book is rich in its character development and deeply profound in its underlying message, which is simply this: We are here to do what we are here to do. Grown men will cry. I sure did.
