SINGAPORE – Best-selling author Mitch Albom, who never had his own children, did not expect to be changing his adopted infant’s wet diapers in 2022. The 67-year-old, who recently sent his three-year-old daughter to school for the first time, now finds himself standing amid fathers half his age.

“I am the walking definition of a second chance,” the Tuesdays With Morrie (1997) author tells The Straits Times on a call from his Detroit home.
