"This is a story about a family and, as there is a ghost involved, you might call it a ghost story. But every family is a ghost story. The dead sit at our tables long after they have gone". So begins "For One More Day", a novel by the author of "Tuesdays with Morrie" and "The Five People You Meet in Heaven". This slender fable poses a simple yet almost infinitely resonant question: What would you do if you could spend one more day with a lost loved one? Charley Benetto`s miraculous reunion with his deceased mother offers him - and us - a springboard into possibilities. A fiction that seems palpably real.

Charles Frieth, pre-eminent composer, conductor and prodigious womaniser, is preparing for a performance of one of his early works, and the world premiere of Demonic Aubade. Obstinate and myopic, he is oblivious to the growing turmoil around him; his wife`s poor health and dissatisfaction; the exhausted efforts of his secretary; and, the disquieting diligence of his housekeeper, Maria. As the first performance draws near, the maestro is suddenly awoken to the chaos, and as Charles struggles to regain control of his life, a terrible tragedy begins to unfold.
