"What if you were still given a chance to be someone who died years ago for just One Day." Well-- this was the concept of Mitch Albom's spectacular novel entitled "For One More Day" well here's the plot P.S I got this from Wikipedia super credit! ;)
The book's theme is mortality it analyzes how people might react to the chance to have a dead relative back for a day.
The book tells the story of Charley “Chick” Benetto, a former baseball player who encounters myriad problems with his career, finances, family and alcohol abuse. This leads him to become suicidal, and he leaps from a water tower in an attempt to end his life. After falling to the ground Benetto looks up – his suicide attempt an apparent failure – to see his mother, who had died eight years prior.
Benetto returns to his old family home, and spends one more day with his mother, wherein a number of previously unknown factors related to his difficult childhood and troubled relationship with his father are revealed to him. His mother assists him in resolving his issues and getting his life back on track. The day ends when Benetto regains consciousness at the foot of the water tower, in the arms of a police officer.
The book's epilogue describes how Benetto was inspired by his experience to quit drinking and reconcile with family, including his daughter, Maria, before his death five years later. At the end, Maria is revealed to have been the narrator of the story.

Finally got the chance to post! Hello to everybody tad too bad that this is the only time to post but the good thing is I'm back ;) yipee! So yeah, last night I finally got the chance to read "One More Day". Actually, the history of "ME" reading "THAT BOOK" is quite confusing 'cuz I got interested with Mitch Albom's novels 'cuz of "Tuesdays with Morrie". When I first saw "One More Day" it was normal for me to flip through some of the pages + I tried reading the first part but to no avail it wasn't really interesting on my part. And the climax? I was going through some books last night and I saw that book what was hilarious was I actually got to flip to this certain page and I ACCIDENTALLY read some of the lines and I was like "OMGee-- This is aw`some!" I started reading last night and I also finished it last time LOL :"> =)))) It was a great book 'cuz seriously after reading it I really found out that all of us should value the people surrounding us and we are only given one chance to live in this world so by any means~ we should really enjoy & live it out to the FULLEST. YESS-- FULLEST! ;) Well-- that's about everything. To all of you out there I'm really recommending this book haha! =)
