For One More Day is the story of a mother and a son, and a relationship that covers a lifetime and beyond. It explores the question: what would you do if you could spend one more day with a lost loved one? As a child, Charley “Chick” Benetto was told by his father, “You can be a mama’s boy or a daddy’s boy, but you can’t be both.” So he chooses his father, only to see the man disappears when Charley is on the verge of adolescence.


Decades later, Charley is a broken man. His life has been crumbled by alcohol and regret. He loses his job. He leaves his family. He hits bottom after discovering his only daughter has shut him out of her wedding. And he decides to take his own life. He makes a midnight ride to his small home town, with plans to do himself in. but upon failing even to do that, he staggers back to his old house, only to make an astonishing discovery. His mother –who died eight years earlier– is still living there, and welcomes him home as if nothing ever happened…
