For One More Day by Mitch Albom (2006, Unabridged, Compact Disc)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was disappointed when I finished it in just a few hours. I believe most people can relate to each character in some way. We recognize ourselves in a similar action, reaction or intuitive moment that is troubling at times and reassuring in others. I could feel the disappointment of a 6 year old child, the deep regret of a son, the fierceness and heartbreak of a mother trying to protect her family and provide a "normal" life at the same time. And most especially the forgiveness that we strive to give and yearn to receive. Obviously I would recommend this book.

I am impressed and amazed at the writting style of Mitch Albom. He can have you in the present time in one paragraph and 50 years earlier in the next, without confusion. He has a way with bringing you right into the story, giving you the right information at the right time and making you feel like the story is yours. I have read all 3 of his "non-sports" related books, each one I finished the first time I picked them up. I even bought the audio books for my husband who travels for work and doesn't really care to read that much. He LOVED the stories and talked about them for days. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone and have no complaints whatsoever!
