Have A Little Faith by Mitch Albom

From The Ledger:

Sally Miller and Joy Banks, who both have read Albom’s blockbuster "Tuesdays With Morrie," felt "Faith" was similar in many respects as it develops over the years it takes for one of the main characters to die.

"I was cynical as I was reading the book. It seems like the author has found a pattern that will earn him a lot of money by using the death of people who have meaningful lives. It was nice that he shared the story, but he did the same thing with his professor," Banks said.
