**Summary:** This book is about a man named Eddie who worked at Ruby Pier on the boardwalk. He loved children and they loved him as well, but he thought his life had absolutely no purpose to it. But once he died, he met five people prior to entering heaven that all helped him realize his purpose.

**The lesson I learned:** This book helped me realize that everyone is important in a variety of ways. No matter how big or how small your life and your actions effect a plethora of people that you never knew existed. Mitch Albom taught me through Eddie's character that the negative outlook many individuals have on life will eventually change. Carly Hughes 11/18/11 I totally agree. Everyone has a purpose no matter how big or small
