Book description
Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher or a colleague. Someone older,
patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching,
and gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For
Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from
nearly twenty years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this
mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded. Wouldn't you like
to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you?
Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last
months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying of ALS - or motor
neurone disease - MItch visited Morrie in his study every Tuesday, just
as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned
into one final 'class': lessons in how to live. TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE is
a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares
Morrie's lasting gift with the world. Mitch Albom writes for the
DETROIT FREE PRESS, and has been voted America's No. 1 sports columnist
ten times by the Associated Press Sports Editors. A former professional
musician, he hosts a daily radio show on WJR in Detroit.
