Janine Albom (on the right) is Mitch Albom's wife and also a professional singer. Though she is mentioned throughout the book, but she she only appears and plays an important role in The Tenth Tuesday, when she goes to meet Morrie and he convinces her to sing for him. She was more open and relaxed than Mitch was before his lessons with Morrie, and wanted to raise a family, but Mitch was too busy with working to handle the commitment.
