Somewhere in Heaven: The Remarkable Love Story of Dana and Christopher Reeve Pages: 256, Hardcover, Hyperion Brand: Hyperion Sales rank: 37041 Usually ships in 24 hours Books / Subjects / Biographies & Memoirs / Arts & Literature / Actors & Actresses Customer Ratings & Reviews (most recent first) Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (out of 5) Number Of Ratings: 23 23) 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 by her husband was renamed the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. You'll be touched by SOMEWHERE IN TIME . . . I recommend it strongly . . . in addition, Edward Hermann's powerful narration will add to your enjoyment of the book. Rating: 5 Submitted: 10/23/2008 22) Somewhere in heaven: A true love story I have always admired Dana and Chris Reeves. Not only for their journey but for their love for each other. This book is so touching. It starts off from the time when Chris was on his death bed till his death, from their the story takes off from how they met to Chris tragic horse accident. How they came through until Dana's last day on earth. I highly recommened this book to anyone who admired this couple or just wants to read a true love story!!!!!!!!!!! Rating: 5 Submitted: 10/12/2008 21) "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. He never slowed down, never ceased living life even pinned to a wheelchair, unable to breath without help. He still taught his son to ride a bike, still produced movies, still acted as husband and father and friend to those lucky enough to be around him. It was in part due to Dana, his wife. A large part if you asked the world. It was her strength that helped Will, their son, manage the crisis without falling apart. And later, able to manage Dana's death with class. She was the one that told Christopher that he was "still you" when he was tempted to let them pull the plug following the accident. But there were those that played small, inspiring roles. Like Robin Williams, who days following the accident, showed up in Reeve's hospital room in scrubs with a heavy accent, playing the role of Proctologist. This would win him the first laugh from Reeve since the accident. Willaims would play jester to Reeve many times in the following years. The determination to not allow life's stumbling blocks to make them quit is why the Reeve's are so remarkable. Their focus no matter what stage of life was incredible. Whether acting in a movie or learning to walk again, they tackled each segment of life with an endurance that was rewarded with a love few find. Their story is one that will inspire you to live your life today the best you can. It takes the excuses away and minimizes the need to whine or complain. After all, if Superman can live life to the fullest whether flying in a hand glider or strapped to a wheelchair, why can't we? Rating: 4 Submitted: 10/11/2008 20) 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. Rating: 5 Submitted: 10/7/2008 19) Nice Love Story As my husband is disabled and in a wheelchair also very early in life, he was 42, I enjoyed reading this love story of how two people were determined to make their marriage work through "Sickness and in Health". We have now been married 35 years. It can be done. When you say your wedding vows, and if you really mean them, you will stick it out through the rough times in life. This book was nearly a mirror image of what I am going through now. A must read for all married couples and couples soon to be married. Rating: 4 Submitted: 10/3/2008
