This book is just one more by the author that is excellently written. The title speaks volumes. It takes a common yearning
that anyone haswho has experienced a personal loss of a family member, cherished friend or mentor. It explores what one more daymight be like with that person. Of course there is no way ofknowing what anyone would do with this one more day. We are who we are and maybe we would relive things as they were then. No difference, just a knowing that we can't change who we are at a given time.The book tugs at your heart strings, itmakes one sit back and wonder if it could be so.As a child growing up in the upper midwest of the USA in the60's I would watch a catholic sponsored program on Sunday morningsthat with equal dexterity would make me wonder if it could be so with a
different topic each week. Martin Sheen was a young actor in the series. I can't remember if the title was In Touch or something like that. Now that I'm in my early 50's I can see the wisdom in the book and the series that in my youth I probably missed. Some say that youth is wasted on the young. I think that it is probably someone who has grown bitter in years and outlook. How many times have you heard someone say, "If I knew the things that I know now I'd have done things differently." Where would life'svaluable lessons beif this were so. Experience is a painful teacher but a good one. Our humanity is full of errors and yet at times nobility shows forth in the midst of our weaknesses. If the author makes you
question and see things from a different perspective then he or she has done their job. This book made me question whether I would do things different with my younger brother who drowned when he was 12 and I only 19. It is a question that is as individual as you or I and as common as our humanity. As a writer myself I yearn to make such a connection with my readers. I strive to make clear the mass of confusion that is often my own feelings. To help one another on the road of life is all we can ask. Garyl
