Mitch Albom's new book tackles divorce and regret

Author of the lauded Tuesdays with Morrie and Five People you meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom's latest book will be out earlier than expected.
Albom's publisher, Hyperion, announced this week that the new book, entitled For one more Day will be in US stores after September 26.
"In this new book, Albom explores the themes of family, divorce and regrets, and the wish that we could have one more day with a lost loved one. He also writes tenderly about the unique and sometimes difficult relationship between mothers and sons, following the story of a boy who was forced to choose his father over his mother, only to see his father abruptly disappear a few years later," Hyperion said in a press release.
"Mitch has topped himself with this amazing new novel," Hyperion president Robert S. Miller said. "It is a deeply moving and hopeful story that we believe will touch millions of readers this fall, and for years to come."
When asked about the book, Albom said: "So many people have told me --
often fighting tears -- what they wish they could say to a father or a
mother if they only had one more day with them. I wanted to write a story
about someone who gets that chance."
