National Writers Series Presents - Mitch Album

The National Writers Series is welcoming back Michigan author Mitch Albom for his latest novel: Twice which takes readers on an unforgettable emotional journey through love, second chances, and the choices that define our lives.

When he is eight-years-old, Alfie Logan discovers the magical ability to get a second chance at everything. He can undo any moment and live it again. The only catch is, he must accept the consequences of his second try — for better or worse. He grows up correcting his mistakes and saving himself from adolescent embarrassments. He even takes foolishly dangerous risks, just to see what it’s like to come close to death, before tapping back to safety.

Eventually, Alfie turns his gift to his love life, studying his crushes and going back to make himself more appealing. In time, he falls deeply in love with Gianna, the woman he believes is the one. He seems to find contentment. But as the years pass, Alfie’s eye begins to wander. Which is when he learns a lone caveat to his power: once he undoes a love, that person can never fall in love with him again. Faced with his temptations, versus the risk of losing what he has with Gianna, Alfie makes a choice that changes his life forever.

The event begins at 7 p.m. and includes a Q&A and author signing. Each ticket comes with a copy of Twice (or opt for a two-ticket package with one book). Please note: signed books are only available at the live event.
