#57 - For One More Day

Cape Cod vacation reads, part 1: For One More Day by Mitch Alborn (Hyperion, 2006). If you've read The Five People You Meet in Heaven by the same author, you pretty much know what to expect. A sweet if slightly melodramatic, not-too-taxing book about Chick Benedetto, a depressed alcoholic in his 50s who attempts suicide and instead, stumbles into an experience most of us only wish for: another day with a relative who's died (in this case, his late mother). Not too long, and a good beach read if you like a break from all those romances now and then.
