Mitch Albom's For One More Day

If you could spend one more day with someone you have loved and lost, what would you say? Mitch Albom, author of Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven, poses that powerful question in his best-selling novel For One More Day. The story revolves around Chick Benetto, a washed up salesman who returns to his small hometown with plans to take his own life. Magically, his departed mother walks back into his life—and he is granted one more day with her.

"For One More Day is a story about forgiveness, it's about redemption, and ultimately love between a mother and her son," Oprah says. "When I read the book, I was so moved by its message, I decided to make it a special Oprah Winfrey Presents television movie."
