About this product

Product Information

"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.

great title..a twist on his movie, Somewhere In Time
Love the book...almost read it all in one night. Finally got the movie,Somewhere In Time, and the movie was about an impossible love story. Have been intrigued about Christoper and Dana Reeve, especially since her tragic death. I remember this book being talked about on a morning news program, and thought I would like to read it. One thing, people need to remember...money makes a huge difference in a realtionship. They were able to buy the best equipment, afford the best Doctors and Physical Therapists and support staff money could buy, to come into their home and care for Chris at home. They had a Nanny to help with their young son and the impression I get from reading the book, Dana was the one who cordinated everything regarding Chris's care and she carried a huge burden. Christopher still wanted her to be her own person, have her own career, and not be swallowed by his situation. But even before his accident, she had given up opportunities to be with him on movie sets and support his career. Great read though..a testament to the power of love and determination. The only thing that I really disliked about this book, was that there were not enough wedding pictures!!!! I will probably read this book again and again. It also makes me want to read more biographies by this books author, Christopher Andersen. Personally, I love biographies...I truly believe that truth is stranger than fiction.Read full review

somewhere in heaven
This book was both beautiful and touching. What the ordinary person thinks of as love was totally eclipsed by the bond between Dana and Christopher Reeves. When Chris became paralyzed, Dana showed not only love, but the courage and tenacity that too many couples today know nothing about. Because of Dana's heart, Chris Reeve "lived" and came out of himself to campaign for others who also were handicapped. Their overwhelming love gave a deeper meaning to 'in sickness & in health'. I highly recommend this book.

Somewhere in Heaven
Very moving, true story about the love between two people and the obstacles they faced when he (Chris Reeves) is injured in a horse riding accident...makes you thank God for the two legs that we walk on and take for granted....and then to take care of him all those years and so sadly lose your own life (his wife) so soon after he passed leaving their son....wow...heartwrentching and heartwarming at the same time...recommend this book
