Tuesdays With Morrie is an autobiographical story of Mitch Albom, an accomplished journalist driven solely by his career, and Morrie Schwartz, his former college professor. Sixteen years after graduation, Mitch happens to catch Morrie's appearance on a television news program and learns that his old professor is battling Lou Gehrig's Disease. Mitch is reunited with Morrie, and what starts as a simple visit turns into a weekly pilgrimage and a last class in the meaning of life. This touching production is an unforgettable life-affirming drama that is peppered with a generous amount of humor. The book topped the New York Times Non-Fiction Bestsellers of 2000.
