Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

In Albom's, second novel, retired baseball player Charley "Chick" Benetto—facing the pain of unfulfilled ambitions, alcohol abuse, divorce, and estrangement from a grown daughter—returns to his abandoned childhood home and attempts suicide in a bungling fit of rage. He encounters the spirit of his deceased mother, Pauline "Posey" Benetto, who Chick thoughtlessly took for granted during both his formative years as cocky athlete and his booze-soaked adulthood. Miraculously, Chick can now apologize to Posey for his ingratitude concerning the sacrifices she made as a single, working mother. Albom narrates with finesse, particularly in Chick's wistful litany of his mother's pearls of wisdom, "A child embarrassed by his mother is just a child who hasn't lived long enough." If Posey's truisms may not necessarily break new literary ground, Albom deserves credit for giving her depth and complexity that transcend familiar pop culture notions of motherhood in '50s America. The gentle strumming of musical accompaniment befits Albom's brand of writing. This "ghost story" provides an affirming tale of moral instruction and emotional catharsis. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.


From AudioFile

Charlie's been drunk so often and disappointed his daughter so many times that she doesn't invite him to her wedding. He even fails at his suicide. Or does he? When his deceased mother returns to love him unconditionally for one more day, he's not quite sure what's going on. The author reads his book with a deep, resonant voice that matches the sentimental sermonizing in the story. Albom's narration singsongs as Charlie reflects on his mother's past support, his own failings, and the events of a confusing present in which he relishes his mother's care and sees his own life clearly for the first time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful message, but not a wonderful book, May 16 2007
By Kathy (Canada) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: For One More Day (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed "The Five People You Meet in Heaven", but this book wasn't nearly as insightful or thought-provoking. It was an enjoyable read, and a touching story about a mother's love, but it's not a book that I would read again or recommend to a friend. It was very forgettable. I'm glad I got it at 50% off on Amazon!

4.0 out of 5 stars a BIG little book, Nov 16 2009
By mocha (vancouver) - See all my reviews
I thoroughly enjoyed this book (which I read in two sittings yesterday). I loved "Tuesdays with Morrie", but didn't think the author could come up with another story as good as that so had not read anything else by Mitch Albom. "One More Day" is about a mother's unconditional love, the kind of love we are not likely to find again. It's about people that are still in our hearts long after they have disappeared from our lives, and what it would be like to be able to be with each of them one more time. It made we want to contact each of my old friends before one of us dies to sort through the misunderstandings, pain and regrets, to relive the happy memories, tell them that I still think of them, that I never stopped loving them, etc. I have done some of that over the last few years and it's amazing how differently each of us have thought about the same situations. Opening oneself up to some old wounds can help to lay down burdens as the passage of time reveals additional aspects, considerations, understandings. I wish I had written this little gem. It's an inspiration. I have it wrapped up and ready to mail to my 88 year old mother. I know she'll love it, as I hope you will.

4.0 out of 5 stars quite interesting, Aug 18 2009
By Maria Yeung (Calgary, AB Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book makes you think of life and the appreciations for everyone around you. It makes us realize that life is important and death does not solve problems, but perhaps creates more problems for the ones you love. It's quite an inspirational book and makes people value their family a lot more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book.. Loved it
I love this book, really good read. Makes you think the things you take for granted in this life time. I loved the fact Chick got to spend one more day with his mother.

I'd say Charley would have ended up in a complete loser without seeing his mother miraculously. She had already died a long time ago in reality, though. Lisez davantage

5.0 out of 5 stars An emotional tribute to family bonds, love and forgiveness.
I was totally absorbed by For One More Day by Mitch Albom, and taken back to a time when I, too, was young and everything seemed innocent, confusing and not always explainable. Lisez davantage
