About The Author: Mitch Albom


Mitch Albom was born on May 23, 1958. He was born in Passait, New Jersey. He attended Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, where he received a bachelor's degree in sociology. Mitch Albom, who also wrote Tuesdays With Morrie, wrote The Five People You Meet In Heaven with most of the book's inspiration coming from his real life uncle, Eddie Beitchman. Eddie Beitchman was a World War II veteran, died at 83, rarely left his home city, and felt as if he didn't accomplish much in his life, just like the novel's fictional character, Eddie.
