Mitch Albom's Brainstorming Notes For His Next Novel

The greatest present I will ever receive: True Love

A witty old woman captures our hearts and then dies of breast cancer

A rich white boy meets an african-american lad from a bad neighborhood and forms a lifelong friendship

Thursdays with Oprah

My dog was a real devil growing up, but I sure loved him, and when he died, we were all really sad

After a man's daughter has a stroke, we learn valuable lessons from her while she is in a coma

A pretty child makes fun of a classmate for being fat, but when the classmate dies her spirit visits the pretty child and provides a deeper appreciation for being nice to other people

A story that isn't about the power of the human spirit

A man drinks and drives and kills two teens, and then learns lessons from the victim's family because they are such good people
