For One More Day by Mitch Albom is the story of a man who gets the chance to spend one more day with his mother, who died 8 years earlier. Mitch Albom who is also the Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet In Heaven author. The story groping for the question "If you had one more day with someone who is no longer in your life, who would it be?" The protagonist, Charles "Chick" Benetto, he has an unhappy childhood experiences and that influenced his adulthood. When he decides to kill himself, he encountered his mother Posey who was died. After Posey narrated the past, He regained his nerve and comprehended his mothers’ sacrifice for home. The story not only tells the love between parents and children but also treasures the present. We should grasp the moment, and realize how grand the mothers’ love. For One More Day is inspirational and easy to read. It is engaging and full of life lessons. I got it from my collage classmate, Amy, who is asked to read an English novel by her English teacher. Besides, everyone can borrow it from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology library. But you should be early to reserve, or you will wait for a long time.
