en*light Life

Mitch Albom, author of Tuesdays with Morrie,  and The Five People You Meet in Heaven, comes back with a new solumn tale that although is a quick read, offers a profound message. The narrator is introduced to Chick Benetto, who tells his tale of a second chance, or one more day with his mother, Posey Benetto.  Chick is a broken man that is an alcoholic, divorced, has-been baseball player, who hits rock-bottom when his daughter doesn’t invite him to her wedding. During a suicide attempt, Chick has a profound experience that saves not only his life, but provides him with a second chance to make things right with a lost loved one.

Overall, this was a great, fast read that is featured here on our site for it’s great message. It’s a little something “for the soul”. Curl up with this book over the weekend, and you start the following week with more purpose and appreciation for those loved ones in your life. Enjoy!
