Mitch Albom is a successful sports columnist. In 1995, Albom phones his former sociology professor, Morrie Schwartz, after seeing him on Nightline afflicted with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Albom is prompted to visit Schwartz in Massachusetts where a coincidental newspaper strike allows Albom to visit Schwartz every week, on Tuesdays. The book, divided into 14 different days, recounts each of the fourteen visits Albom made to Schwartz. Each visit includes lectures from Morrie on life experiences with flashbacks and references to contemporary events. Schwartz's final days, ultimately, are spent giving Albom his final lesson of life.
