FOR ONE MORE DAY

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.
