Mitch Albom, author of "Tuesdays with Morrie" and "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," will discuss his new book, "The First Phone Call from Heaven," tonight at 7 p.m. at Kepler's Books in Menlo Park.

His new book, "The First Phone Call from Heaven," is the story of a small Midwestern town whose residents begin to get phone calls from the departed, is dubbed as equal parts mystery, love story, and an allegory about the power of belief.

An internationally renowned and best-selling author, journalist, screenwriter, playwright, and broadcaster, Albom is also an ardent philanthropist who has founded six charities for the needy and disenfranchised, many in the metropolitan Detroit area, and operates an orphanage in Port Au Prince, Haiti.
