Non-Fiction Biography
"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.
