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.
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.
