For One More Day

For One More Day - Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom, seems to have  'Death' as central theme in his books. His well known 'Tuesdays with Morrie' did, and so does this. Death not as difficult or morose but to bring out how "it is an end, so what are the chances we are missing out on when alive".


He explores here the question of what you would do if you had that chance to come back for one more day.......what would you do? 

Mitch is a devout believer in the power of love and relationships, and in this book delves into the relationship between a mother and son, one that seems to flit between real and ghost....haunting, magical....real.

Charley, a broken man, not invited to the wedding of his own daughter, wants to die...and then gets a chance to spend a day with his mother who died eight years earlier, and that's his chance to fix things he did wrong by his mother, and in process deal with his own ghosts.
