Thank You, Goodreads Reviewers!

I want to extend a very special thank you to the First Reads Goodreads winners who have left reviews for 14 Days. Because this was such a personal story, to put this memoir out into the public is difficult. The process of writing a book for public consumption is vulnerable enough; to put a story as intimate as this into the hands of strangers can be daunting. But the love you've shown to the story and to my mom is so heartwarming. I know that she would have been beyond tickled to know that her life was touching others in such a significant way.

So thank you. I can't wait for this memoir to be birthed.

A Look Inside “14 Days”

PREFACE “I want Mitch Albom to write me a eulogy,” my mom said in an expectant tone. “Mother, everyone wants Mitch to write their eulogy.” “Yes, but he likes me. Ask him to write one for me.” “Mother, I can’t…I…” She looked at me with dying eyes, mother eyes. Eyes saying, “just do it.” “But, […]
