A Walk to Remember

There there was a time when everything was more pleasant, when men and women in Beaufort, North Carolina, wore hats and dresses, respectively, and a seventeen-year-old lad experienced an incident that would permanently alter his life. Each April, when the sea breeze combines with the fragrance of lilacs, Landon Carter reflects about his last year at Beaufort High. By 1958, Landon had already dated one or two women. He even made a vow that he had been in love before. The town's Baptist minister's daughter Jamie Sullivan was definitely the last person he expected to fall in love with. Jamie was a quiet girl who looked pleased to live in a world away from the other adolescents. She always carried a Bible with her schoolbooks. She assisted at the neighbourhood orphanage, cared for her father, who was widowed, and rescued injured animals. She'd never been asked out by a male. Landon never would have imagined such a thing. Landon Carter's life would never be the same when Jamie ended up becoming his partner for the homecoming dance due to an unfortunate turn of events. He would discover the depths of the human heart while with Jamie, and they would come to a choice so momentous that it would set him on an unbreakable path to adulthood. Nicholas Sparks is the author who engages our emotions the most in today's literature.

His two New York Times bestsellers, The Notebook and Message in a Bottle, have established him as the preeminent writer of today's most beloved love tales, illuminating both the power and the gossamer fragility of our innermost feelings. Now, in A Walk to Remember, he narrates a really remarkable tale that shimmers with his enchantment, enthralling us and serving as a reminder that everyone of us may encounter one great love in life—the sort that transforms everything—that will leave us speechless.
