"Proof of Heaven belongs on any keeper shelf. It's beautifully
written, mesmerizing and tragic, thought-provoking, and a reaffirmation
of faith....I loved this book."
--Shelley Shepard Gray
Proof of Heaven by Mary Curran Hackett is an astonishing debut--a
moving, inspiring, and wise first novel that explores beautifully the
meaning of family, faith, and love. The story of a mother's unshakable
belief, a child's bravery, and a doctor's dedication to healing, this is
extraordinarily compelling contemporary fiction certain to appeal to
fans of the acclaimed works of Alice McDermott, Mary Karr, Ann Lamott,
and Jodi Picoult; to readers who made the inspirational novel The
Shack a phenomenal success; and to all of us with questions of life,
death, God, and the afterlife at the forefront of our minds.
