The next meeting is in heaven

"This novel is a wish—a wish that my loved ones find the serenity that eluded them on earth, and that they realize how we all affect one another every day of our precious lives."

Over the years, as in none of my previous books, readers kept asking me: "What happened next to Eddie and Annie?" Although I had never written a sequel to any of my previous works, I sensed a natural story in Eddie’s transition. "From meeting five people to being one of five people meeting someone else. I had a very compelling substance in my hands, an exploration of how a child could survive after an accident that almost killed her. So I went after the story, and I was amazed at where it led. "

Five You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom's debut novel, has captivated millions of readers with a fantastical tale of the afterlife; the story of Eddie, who lost his life saving young Annie, and how he learned that his life-and every life on earth-was important and meaningful. Now, in this enchanting sequel, Mitch explores Annie's story and what happened to her next, in a fascinating novel about the intersection of fates and the acceptance of losses.

The Next Encounter in Heaven is a beautiful and emotional novel, full of unexpected events, reminding us that every life counts, that every end is only a beginning, and that we must open our eyes to see this truth.
