Holy smokes! Mitch Albom is writing a new book in real time! And it's free! Mitch wrote Tuesdays With Morrie, a memoir about his time with his college professor after they were reunited years later. You will read that book your junior year. But this book is fiction and the first chapter was great! Check it out for yourself!
