Product Description:
'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.

- You'll be touched by this powerful love story
Heard SOMEWHERE IN HEAVEN: THE REMARKABLE LOVE
STORY OF DANA AND CHRISTOPHER REEVE by Christopher
Andersen.

Christopher Reeve, at one time, had it all . . . he was the star
of four Superman movies and though his career had
gone through some ups and downs, he was still a working
actor who had both a loving wife and son . . . then in 1995, an
equestrian accident paralyzed him from the neck down--making
him "president of a club I never wanted to join."

That is where his tale became even more interesting . . . his courage
in fighting his battle inspired the nation until his unexpected death
in 2004.

Dana Reeve, his wife, stood by his side until the end . . . she then
died, less than two years later, from lung cancer . . . perhaps
no greater tribute to this woman was the fact that the foundation
named initially ... Read More

- "Remarkable" is right
It wasn't until I closed the book after finishing the last page that I realized how remarkable the story really was. After all, author Christopher Anderson's subtitle to Somewhere In Heaven stated "The remarkable love story of Dana and Christopher Reeve". And remarkable it was. After meeting and initially falling in love, the two were inseparable. They traveled, sailed, flew, skated on ice, you name it. They lived to the fullest extreme. Christopher, more so than Dana. He was the one doing his own movie stunts and hand gliding and riding horses in competitions. By all measures, he was Superman personified.

Until that fateful day when his horse became spooked, stopped short of a jump, and Superman ceased living life as he knew it. Yet, later, much later, while petitioning Congress for money and rights for the disabled, he would state he missed his simple life, the quiet life that didn't generate so much attention. ...

- Any library strong in film or biography will find this a compelling, moving lend
The love between actor Christopher Reeve and his wife Dana finally reaches book form with SOMEWHERE IN HEAVEN, a striking story of the actor who produced four blockbuster Superman films and the romantic movie Somewhere In Time, who was paralyzed in a freak horseback-riding accident. For many life would end there; but Christopher Reeves became a 'poster man' for paralytics world-wide, and his heroic wife stayed by his side until his sudden death at age fifty-two. Seventeen months later she would be dead from lung cancer. Any library strong in film or biography will find this a compelling, moving lend.
