Product Description
This is the story of Charley, a child of divorce who is always forced to choose between his mother and his father. He grows into a man and starts a family of his own. But one fateful weekend, he leaves his mother to secretly be with his father - and she dies while he is gone. This haunts him for years. It unravels his own young family. It leads him to depression and drunkenness. One night, he decides to take his life. But somewhere between this world and the next, he encounters his mother again, in their hometown, and gets to spend one last day with her - the day he missed and always wished he'd had. He asks the questions many of us yearn to ask, the questions we never ask while our parents are alive. By the end of this magical day, Charley discovers how little he really knew about his mother, the secret of how her love saved their family, and how deeply he wants the second chance to save his own. |

Just One More Day 
Has there ever been a person who did not wish For One More Day with a deceased loved one? This little book is a bit of wish fulfillment that is filled with hope and love. Charley Benetto is fortunate enough to get one more day with his deceased mother, as he lay dying in the grass after a botched suicide attempt. His mother teaches him lessons that help him to turn his broken life around, allowing him to reconcile with his daughter and begin leading a productive life. This is a wonderfully-intriguing story that is cleverly fashioned and highly recommended.

Wonderful!
This book was so wonderful! I read it in one sitting and then cried when it was over. I am no basketcase; it is just that good. I recommend it to anyone with a mother and a heart.

I Wish I Wrote This
Writers love books that inspire and force them to write, but certain books do more than inspire. These force you to study what the novelist did and train your eye for technique. For One More Day does all this.
The plot tells a universal tale about family and regrets--about the things you wish you did and those things and words you wish you could take back. Minor themes in the work became major insight that surprises and delights readers.
I wish I wrote this book. I will buy this Mitch Albom's other works because writing like this makes you a fan for life. Buy it and get ready to call your mother so you can tell her you love and appreciate her while you can.
I did. No regrets.

Average read- nothing special 
I read this book for a book club meeting and must say that our group discussion turned out to be more interesting than the book itself. I read this book and couldn't help but see this grown man's attachment to his mother as a little abnormal. It seemed as if he contstantly pined for her as if he were still a little child. Although this story was told from his point of view, I actually related more with the mother - her pain, struggles and fears that he never saw while he was growing up. It was an okay read but may be a bit more interesting if you have people to discuss it after.
