For One More Day

by Mitch Albom
From the author of The Five People You Meet in Heaven and Tuesdays with Morrie, a new novel that millions of fans have been waiting for. "Every family is a ghost story . . ." Mitch Albom mesmerized readers around the world with his number one New York Times bestsellers, The Five People You Meet in Heaven and Tuesdays with Morrie. Now he returns with a beautiful, haunting novel about the family we love and the chances we miss. For One More Day is the story of a mother and a son, and a relationship that covers a lifetime and beyond. It explores the question: What would you do if you could spend one more day with a lost loved one? As a child, Charley "Chick" Benetto was told by his father, "You can be a mama's boy or a daddy's boy, but you can't be both." So he chooses his father, only to see the man disappear when Charley is on the verge of adolescence. Decades later, Charley is a broken man. His life has been crumbled by alcohol and regret. He loses his job. He leaves his family. He hits bottom after discovering his only daughter has shut him out of her wedding. And he decides to take his own life. He makes a midnight ride to his small hometown, with plans to do himself in. But upon failing even to do that, he staggers back to his old house, only to make an astonishing discovery. His mother--who died eight years earlier--is still living there, and welcomes him home as if nothing ever happened. What follows is the one "ordinary" day so many of us yearn for, a chance to make good with a lost parent, to explain the family secrets, and to seek forgiveness. Somewhere between this life and the next, Charley learns the astonishing things he never knew about his mother and her sacrifices. And he tries, with her tender guidance, to put the crumbled pieces of his life back together. Through Albom's inspiring characters and masterful storytelling, readers will newly appreciate those whom they love--and may have thought they'd lost--in their own lives. For One More Day is a book for anyone in a family, and will be cherished by Albom's millions of fans worldwide. 208 pages Publisher : Hachette Books Date Published : 2007-04 29 other members have this in Catalog ehlanadanae owns this book  sanzo003 owns this book  turandot owns this book  kath_narciso owns this book MaryMichelle08 owns this book  rorschach0417 owns this book ebadon86 owns this book xien_redtea owns this book jhanyc81 owns this book yevetee owns this book  mnqbalolong owns this book Lemon21 owns this book  RdGarcia owns this book Super_Mark owns this book  sarahcruz24 owns this book  wrieza owns this book shellyness17 has read this book  arlene927 has read this book meeimee has read this book mvpatricio has read this book pinkghelatin has read this book  johngalt has read this book  VincelyMe has read this book Jamaeca has read this book Bagamundo has read this book MadPotato has read this book antokmman has read this book  Yogi wants this book readingsunshine wants this book Talk about this |
