The online book discussion will open at noon on Tuesday, February16.

This book graced The New York Times bestseller list for a total of 95 weeks when it was first published in 2004.

The book tells the story of Eddie, a quiet old man who dies in an accident on the pier where he works.

He goes to heaven and meets five people who have significantly affected his life whether he realised it at the time or not and they each help to explain those life-changing moments to him.
