The first three chapters begin with: an ambiguous introduction to the final conversation between Albom and Schwartz, a brief flashback to Alboms graduation sixteen years earlier, and a brief recount of the events Albom experiences between his graduation and the point where he becomes prompted to return to his professor. ; Albom is a successful columnist to the Detroit Free Press after failing to become a pianist.
