What if, one day, one gets to meet a long deceased person who cared without limits but whom one always took for granted? And what if that person is one's mother? 
 This is the basic snapshot of what goes on in this book. Having read a few of Mitch Albom's books, I can confidently say that this was his best. It moved me to tears in some pages, especially in the sections titled 'The Times I Did Not Stand Up For My Mother'. The book is filled with unconditional parental love, nostalgia, childhood memories, familial importance and more than anything else, repentance arising out of regret - regret for not reciprocating the love received, for not standing up for one's parents. 
 Highly recommended. If you read one Mitch Albom's book, and despite people suggesting Tuesdays with Morrie, read this one.
