Excellent for those who have lost a loved one with unresolved issues between them. It allows you to imagine the conversation you might have had IF you had been given the extra time.

If you had the chance to go back and fix what you did wrong in life, would you take it? This book will make you smile. It will make you wistful. It will make you blink back tears of nostalgia. But most of all, it will make you believe in the eternal power of a mother's love.

Fabulous read! Albom as usual makes us cry and enjoy it at the same time! This is the story of one mans journey...trying to right a wrong...He finds himself at the end of his rope when a miraculous day begins with his dead mother. He begins to unravel his life as he views it from his moms point of view. A must read and reread!

Mitch Albom knows how to write, and how to really reach his readers. No wonder his books spend so much time on the bestsellers lists!

This is a typical book of Albom's.. parts of it brought tears to my eyes....only because I wish I could have another day with my Mother. In the beginning the main character is at his lowest, attempts suicide, fails.....

His mother who has been dead for several years shows up....for one more day. The character tries to make up for how he wronged her in the past and wrongs others as a result.

Bottom line of the book: it tries to teach you to treasure the time you have with loved ones and make the most of that time...so you don't have to wish for one more day so you can redeem yourself.

So well thought out and full of emotion that was well paced. It made me think lovingly of those I value. Loved it!
