For One More Day by Mitch Albom – Book Discussion<\/strong>
\nSaturday, January 21, 2017 at 6 PM – 8 PM<\/strong>
\nA beautiful, haunting novel about the family we love and the chances we miss.
\nFor 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?
\nAs a child, Charley \u201cChick\u201d Benetto was told by his father, \u201cYou can be a mama\u2019s boy or a daddy\u2019s boy, but you can\u2019t be both.\u201d So he chooses his father, only to see the man disappear when Charley is on the verge of adolescence.
\nDecades 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.
\nHe 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 \u2014 who died eight years earlier \u2014 is still living there, and welcomes him home as if nothing ever happened.
\nAlbom has said his relationship with his own mother was largely behind the story of the book, and that several incidents in \u201cFor One More Day\u201d are actual events from his childhood.
\nWinner of Spain\u2019s prestigious \u201cLa Pluma de Plata\u201d Award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
