Christopher Andersen, senior editor for People magazine and acclaimed author of numerous books, spotlights Dana and Christopher Reeve - examining their unique partnership and the romance, faith, and fortitude that defined it. This bittersweet saga shows the couple bearing the painful hand of providence with unbelievable grace, courage, and humor.

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 52.

When Dana, a nonsmoker, passed away from lung cancer just seventeen months after Chris’s death, she left behind their 13-year-old son, Will, to be raised by friends and family. Dana was only 44 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.
