A Diner in the Forest

The third person in the story never met Eddie, but she tells him about his father. For some reason, the location in heaven appears to be a greasy spoon in the middle of a pristine, vast mountain range. I was sort of confused by that. Anyways, Eddie learns that he has wrongly hated his father for not speaking to him, and for dying when he did. He had always thought that his father died because he stumbled in drunk and soaking wet from falling in the sea one night, and as a result developed pneumonia. However, his father actually dove into the sea to save his friend from drowning. Nobody knew but a woman named Ruby, who tells Eddie all of this. He is sorry and forgives his father in the end. I still like how the reader finds things out at the same time the character does in the book. This book is pretty interesting, everything ties together, and it's a pretty easy read. I've only got about 50 pages left to read at this point.
