New York Times bestselling author Mitch Albom has just released 'Human Touch,” a fictional, serialized story of hope during coronavirus pandemic. Written in real time, it is being shared each Friday in weekly installments. The idea came in response to multitude of requests to Albom from readers and listeners around the world as they search for inspiration during these incredibly challenging times. While the release is free to the public, Albom hopes to inspire charitable donations to help his beleaguered hometown of Detroit, Michigan through a project called 'Detroit Beats COVID-19!”We spoke with Albom about his inspiration for his latest work.
