Seventeen-year-old Ronnie Miller's world is turned topsy-
turvy when her parents divorce. Being spiteful, for three
years she's ignored her father Steve. Now Ronnie and her
brother, Jonah, are reluctantly going to spend the summer
with him in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Once a
warm, beautiful young lady who was a brilliant pianist and
composer, Ronnie is now on the dark side with a colored
streak in her hair and resistance in her soul. And she has
not touched the piano since the divorce.
Arriving at the beach, Ronnie befriends the wrong kids and
opposes every overture her father makes. Life begins to
take on a new shade when she meets Will Blakelee. Facing
shoplifting charges in New York and framed again in North
Carolina by Blaze, her new friend, Ronnie faces serious
charges. Then she learns devastating news that changes her
life. She begins to question her true path in life, as well
as her belief in God, as she strives to atone for the
wrongs she has committed.
As usual, Nicholas Sparks has written a
heartbreaking story of misunderstanding and denied love.
Ronnie is a brilliant pianist with a bright future but
willing to throw it all away until the real truth for the
visit with her father comes to light. It broke my heart to
see Ronnie's inability to change the future and rescind all
the things she now regrets. This story is so full of
emotion that you can't help but live it all through
Ronnie's eyes. You will long remember this heart-wrenching
story and keep the Kleenex handy.
Seventeen year old Veronica "Ronnie" Miller's life was
turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father
moved from New York City to Wrightsville Beach, North
Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and
alientated from her parents, especially her father...until
her mother decides it would be in everyone's best interest
if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie's
father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a
quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of
art that will become the centerpiece of a local
church.The tale that unfolds is an
unforgettable story of love on many levels--first love, love
between parents and children -- that demonstrates, as only a
Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that love can break
our hearts...and heal them.
