In the tradition of his beloved first novel, "The Notebook," #1
"New York Times" bestselling author Nicholas Sparks returns with
the remarkable story of two couples whose lives intersect in
profound and surprising ways.
Ira Levinson is in trouble. Ninety-one years old and stranded and
injured after a car crash, he struggles to retain consciousness
until a blurry image materializes beside him: his beloved wife
Ruth, who passed away nine years ago. Urging him to hang on, she
forces him to remain alert by recounting the stories of their
lifetime together - how they met, the precious paintings they
collected together, the dark days of WWII and its effect on them
and their families. Ira knows that Ruth can't possibly be in the
car with him, but he clings to her words and his memories, reliving
the sorrows and everyday joys that defined their marriage.
A few miles away, at a local bull-riding event, a Wake Forest
College senior's life is about to change. Recovering from a recent
break-up, Sophia Danko meets a young cowboy named Luke, who bears
little resemblance to the privileged frat boys she has encountered
at school. Through Luke, Sophia is introduced to a world in which
the stakes of survival and success, ruin and reward -- even life
and death - loom large in everyday life. As she and Luke fall in
love, Sophia finds herself imagining a future far removed from her
plans -- a future that Luke has the power to rewrite . . . if the
secret he's keeping doesn't destroy it first.
Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples who have little in
common, and who are separated by years and experience. Yet their
lives will converge with unexpected poignancy, reminding us all
that even the most difficult decisions can yield extraordinary
journeys: beyond despair, beyond death, to the farthest reaches of
the human heart.
