The JCC presents internationally best-selling author Mitch Albom!
Albom is a journalist, screenwriter, playwright, radio and television broadcaster, philanthropist, and musician.
His signature title, Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life’s Greatest Lesson, has sold 17 million copies in more than 50 editions worldwide.
In November 2023, his new title, The Little Liar, will be released. The Little Liar is a powerful novel that moves from a small village in Greece during the Holocaust to America, where readers follow the intertwined lives of three Holocaust Survivors. Narrated by the voice of ‘Truth’ itself, the novel is a timeless parable about the harm of deceit, and the power of love.
Following his bestselling memoir Finding Chika, and Human Touch, a weekly serial written and published online which raised nearly $1 million for pandemic relief, Albom returned to fiction with The Stranger in the Lifeboat, which debuted at #1 on the New York Times Bestseller List after being #1 on Amazon.
Albom now spends the majority of his time in philanthropic work. Since 2006, he has operated nine charitable programs in southeast Michigan under his SAY Detroit umbrella, including the nation’s first medical clinic for homeless children. He also created a dessert shop and popcorn line to fund programs for Detroit’s most underserved citizens. Since 2010, Albom has operated the Have Faith Haiti orphanage in Port au Prince, a home to 60 children, which he visits every month without exception.
