The first phone call from heaven

Mitch Albom

One autumn day, in the small northern town of Coldwater, Michigan, the phones begin ringing. The people calling are all deceased. They talk about heaven. They say they are safe, and happy. Each call is greeted differently - some with relief, some with love, some with religious zeal, some with fear. On that same day, Sully Harding is released from jail for a crime he may not have committed. He returns to his hometown of Coldwater, hoping to rebuild his life. Instead, he finds a community increasingly gripped by miracle fever. As the mysterious phone calls become more frequent, outsiders begin flocking from all over the world to be part of the blessing, changing the small town indelibly, and turning local citizens into worshipped heroes
