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 Morrieis a magical chronicle of their time together,through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.

Mitch Albom
The seeds of his 1997 phenomenon Tuesdays With Morrie lay in Albom reconnecting with his sometime sociology professor Morrie Schwartz,and the result was a slim volume of conversations that struck a deep chord with the American public. Albom's continued his success with 2003's The Five People You Meet in Heaven,and has explored similar themes of fate and redemption over the books that followed.
