 Christopher Andersen Hyperion From A Press Release Book Description She was not a princess and he was not the son of a martyred president. But, as with the tragic deaths of Diana and John F. Kennedy Jr., Americans were shocked to learn of the death of Christopher Reeve in October 2004 and of his wife Dana's sudden passing just l7 months later. These nearly incomprehensible twin tragedies left their son, Will, an orphan at age l3. Now, three years after that July day when Dana, a nonsmoker, was diagnosed with lung cancer, Christopher Andersen offers SOMEWHERE IN HEAVEN, the first-ever book about the Reeves' inspiring love story. It is the first book about the Reeves since Dana's death at age 44. Christopher Reeve 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 became a symbol of hope for millions after he was paralyzed in a freak horseback riding accident. Dana Reeve was no less heroic, standing steadfastly by her husband's side throughout his private and public struggles. That fate had dealt such a cruel hand to this golden couple seemed unfathomable. That they could endure it all with grace, courage, and humor defied belief. In the manner of his poignant-yet-stirring bestsellers Jack and Jackie, Jackie After Jack, An Affair to Remember, The Day Diana Died, The Day John Died, and After Diana, Andersen draws on those who knew Chris and Dana best to recount the romance, faith, and fortitude that defined their unique partnership. Sometimes heartbreaking, often uplifting, always compelling, SOMEWHERE IN HEAVEN is more than a portrait of a marriage. It is at once the profoundly human story of two souls whose brief lives made a difference, a bittersweet saga of tragedy, triumph, loss, and-above all else-a love story for the ages. About the Author: Christopher Andersen is the critically acclaimed author of twenty-eight books that have been translated into more than twenty languages. His most recent bestsellers include After Diana, The Day John Died, George and Laura, and Diana's Boys. A former contributing editor at Time and senior editor at People, Andersen has written hundreds of articles for a wide range of publications, including the New York Times, and Vanity Fair. He lives in Connecticut. Buy: Somewhere in Heaven: The Remarkable Love Story of Dana and Christopher Reeve Return to the Dr. Laura Reading Corner |
