Book Description
There was a time when the world was sweeter...when the
women in Beaufort, North Carolina, wore dresses, and the men
donned hats...when something happened to a seventeen-year-old
boy that would change his life forever.
Every April, when the wind blows in from the sea and
mingles with the scent of lilacs, Landon Carter remembers his
last year at Beaufort High.
It was 1958, and Landon had already dated a girl or two.
He even swore that he had once been in love. Certainly the
last person in town he thought he'd fall for was Jamie
Sullivan, the daughter of the town's Baptist minister.
A quiet girl who always carried a Bible with her
schoolbooks, Jamie seemed content living in a world apart
from the other teens. She took care of her widowed father,
rescued hurt animals, and helped out at the local orphanage.
No boy had ever asked her out.
Landon would never have dreamed of it. Then a twist of
fate made Jamie his partner for the homecoming dance, and
Landon Carter's life would never be the same. Being with
Jamie would show him the depths of the human heart and lead
him to a decision so stunning it would send him irrevocably
on the road to manhood
No other author today touches our emotions more deeply
than Nicholas Sparks. Illuminating both the strength and the
gossamer fragility of our deepest emotions, his two New York
Times bestsellers, The Notebook and Message in a Bottle, have
established him as the leading author of today's most
cherished love stories. Now, in A WALK TO REMEMBER, he tells
a truly unforgettable story, one that glimmers with all of
his magic, holding us spellbound-and reminding us that in
life each of us may find one great love, the kind that
changes everything...
