The First Phone Call from Heaven by Mitch Albom

Marilyn Medoza, PhD Psychologist Author, We Do Not Die Alone

I read the most delightful book, The First Phone Call from Heaven by Mitch Albom. It is about a small town in which people begin receiving phone calls from their deceased

loved ones. It is full of humor and pathos. He does a wonderful job of capturing human nature and the impact these calls have on the town and the country. For me, it was one of those books that I did not want to end.
