"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.
