Book Overview

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Notebook and A Walk to Remember, an emotionally poignant novel about the enduring legacy of first love-and the decisions that haunt us forever.

"Sparks is a poet ... a master." --Philadelphia Inquirer

Sent away at sixteen, Maggie Dawes could think only of the friends and family she left behind ... until she met Bryce Trickett. Bryce showed her how much there was to love about the wind-swept beach town and introduced her to photography, a passion that would define the rest of her life.

By 2019, Maggie is a renowned travel photographer. Unexpectedly grounded over Christmas and struggling to come to terms with a medical diagnosis, she finds herself becoming dependent on her young assistant. As they count down the last days of the season together, she tells him the story of another Christmas, decades earlier--and the love that set her on a course she never could have imagined.

Wonderful Story of Love

This book spoke to so many different kinds of love, shown in so many different ways. Some of the ways were hard to understand at the time and only were understood with time, some were bittersweet at the time but grew even more in depth as they matured, some were very important at the time and gave strength and understanding at the most needed of times and grew even stronger as time went by. All of the kinds of love that the characters encountered during the story were important and showed how important love is to all of us. It was such a well written story and I was so sorry to see it end.

Definitely a "must read" . . .

This story grabbed me right from the beginning, and was hard to lay down. Absolutely astounding novel, and will make you run through the gamut of joy, moments of "aw", and also tears. Great read and am passing it on to my best friend to share.

Expect the Unexpected

I always wholeheartedly purchase Nicholas Sparks's books, knowing that they will be good, no matter what they are about. When I started reading this one though, I discovered that he chose two topics that I don't like to read about: cancer and pregnancy. One I had and the other I didn't. Well, I read it anyway with deep flashbacks between the two topics. Towards the middle, I still wasn't hooked. Then all of a sudden, I finally got his message. The pieces of the puzzle finally gelled. Turns out, this is probably Sparks's best written book ever! You'll need a box of tissues for this one as the story advances. Couldn't put it down once I got about 2/3 through it. Magnificent storyteller!

Tied for #1 with The Last Song

Could not put this book down. Sometimes I feel asleep while reading and would wake up with book on my chest. Absolutely touching and beautiful story. Nicholas Sparks knows how to touch the heart.
