Some of you might remember my very first post last summer, i.e., The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Well, all I can say is Mitch Albom has done it again! This book is one of a kind; it is strong and powerful, and at the same time, emotional.
This is the story of a middle aged man who lives away from his wife and daughter (family issues). One day, he recieves some photos in the mail. The photos of his daughter's wedding, where he was not invited. Apparently, his wife and daughter thought he was "unstable". Heartbroken, he decided to end his life. As he drives his car off a overpass, he suddenly finds himself in the town where he grew up. He runs to his old house, where he unexpectedly finds his dead mother alive and well. He relives a day with her, as she gives him advice about his life. After spending a full day with her, he regains consciousness in a police officer's arms. This book leads you to draw your own conclusions about what you think REALLY happened. this philosophical book is suitable for all ages, but I think only 12+ may actually appreciate it as more that just a book.
