The author of For One More Day, Mitch Albom, got the inspiration from the moment in his life. His mother was really inspiring him to write this book
although at the time he was in the middle of writing another story. This book became a tribute to his mother and Mitch is thankful she is able to read it while
the other people who became his inspiration for his other books were not able to read his books http:mitchalbom.comdbio3718letter-young-fan.
The most famous presenter of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Oprah Winfrey, was moved by the message on this book. Later she decided to make this book into
a movie with the same title as the book. It is a story about forgiveness, redemption, and ultimate love between a mother and her son
