Synopsis Nicholas Sparks creates another moving portrait of young love, this time centered on "Ronnie" Miller, a New York teen who remains actively dysfunctional three years after her parents' divorce. The rebellious Ronnie is sent to spend the summer with her father in North Carolina, in the hopes that the soothing coastal atmosphere may calm her troubled soul. Instead, she finds herself possessed by the passions of her first love, and she must decide whether to fight these frightening new feelings or surrender to them and risk losing the spirit which forms her identity. As usual, Sparks's readers are encouraged to keep a hanky handy to catch the delirious tears which are sure to result from this heartfelt tale of what happens when two forms of love--familial and romantic--come in conflict.

Industry Reviews "The story...is typically Sparksian, an engaging if heavily telegraphed stew of romance, betrayal, and youthful discovery, garnished with a heavy dollop of Christianity. Fans of THE NOTEBOOK...will gobble it up with glee, right through the tear-duct-milking finale." (09/11/2009)
