Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"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.

With a wisdom far beyond his years, Colm has come to terms with his probable fate, but he does have one special wish. He wants to meet his father who abandoned his beloved mother before Colm was born. But the quest to find the dying boy's missing parent soon becomes a powerful journey of emotional discovery, a test of belief and an anxious search for proof of heaven.
