What this book is about
Charley Benetto is a former baseball player who has hit bottom: divorced, estranged from his daughter, and drunk. On his way to end his life, he returns to his childhood home and finds his mother—who died years ago—waiting for him. They spend one more day together. Albom's short, emotional novel is unabashedly sentimental—a fable about parents, regret, and the second chances that arrive when we're not looking for them.
