When legendary comedienne Joan Rivers passed away on September 4, 2014, millions mourned - but no one felt the loss more deeply than Betsy Berkovitz, her most devoted fan. Heartbroken and unable to imagine a world without her idol's sharp wit and fearless spirit, Betsy makes a wish that seems impossible: that Joan might return, not as a celebrity, but as an angel. In this imaginative and heartfelt novel, that wish is granted. Joan Rivers is sent back on a heavenly assignment to help Betsy find the strength to keep living, laughing, and moving forward.
Through three extraordinary visits to Betsy's comatose bedside, Joan brings her trademark humor, compassion, and unapologetic honesty - guiding Betsy through the pain, regrets, and unfinished business that have kept her stuck. With each encounter, Betsy rediscovers her own resilience and the courage to reclaim her life. Joan Rivers: Heavens to Betsy is a touching, witty, and uplifting tribute to the bond between a fan and her icon, and a reminder that sometimes the angels we need most are the ones who made us laugh when they were here.
