What People Are Saying
"'For One More Day' is a quick, slick read, full of literary jewels and
lines that go down like a sip of water. The mythical, magical world that lives behind Mitch Albom's eyes, where you can go back and fix what was wrong, where it doesn't hurt to dole out forgiveness, where a mother walks the earth like an angel paying homage to our one true treasure -- our families -- is a place I wish I lived. If you had the chance, just one chance, to go back and fix what you did wrong in life, would you take it? And if you did, would you be big enough to stand it? Mitch Albom, in this new book, once again demonstrates why he is one of my favorite writers: a fearless explorer of the wishful and magical, he is also a devout believer in the power of love. For One More Day 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."
--James McBride, author of The Color of Water
Praise for Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven:
"Transcendent. . . . Albom has aimed high here, and there's a whiff of paradise as a result."
--The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Simply told, sentimental, and profoundly true, this is a contemporary American fable that will be cherished by a vast readership."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A book with the genuine power to stir and comfort its readers."
--The New York Times
"Albom has the ability to make yourself cry in spite of yourself."
--The Boston Globe

--People
"This is a fable you will devour when you fall in love. This is the tale you will keep by your side when you are lost. This is the story you will turn to again and again, because it possesses the rare magic to let you see yourself and the world anew. This book is a gift to the soul."
--Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club and The Bonsesetter's Daughter
