19 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A bittersweet story about the love shared by Christopher Reeve, best known for his movie role as Superman, and his wife Dana. In 1995 when Christopher tragically fell from a horse and broke his neck their life changed entirely and forever. The adjustment required superhuman effort from both of them yet their commitment to each other did not flinch. The couple became leading activists for spinal cord research. Christopher died in 2004. The following year Dana was diagnosed with lung cancer and died in 2006. They left thirteen-year old son, Will. Christopher Andersen has written without sentimentality but with a great deal of compassion. This is a love story that will become legend.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sad story about 2 people who really loved each. Dana and Christopher Reeves lives both eneded on sad notes but their love will live on forever through their son. I was truly amazed the strength Dana had throughout her husband's paralysis and her own illness. Their story was full of hope and strength which edured right up to Chris's death and eventually her own.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Better than a fluff piece and a consistent read, Somewhere in Heaven touches your heart with the love shown between Christopher and Dana Reeve, especially after Chris broke his neck in a horse jumping incident.
