A Walk to Remember - by Nicholas Sparks (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A high school rebel and a minister's daughter are star-crossed lovers in this beloved romance novel that inspired the cult classic film, by the New York Times bestselling author of The Notebook.

"An extraordinary book ... touching, at times riveting ... a book you won't soon forget." --Sunday New York Post

Every April, when the wind smells of both the sea and lilacs, Landon Carter remembers 1958, his last year at Beaufort High. Landon had dated a girl or two, and even once sworn that he'd been in love. Certainly the last person he thought he'd fall for was Jamie, the shy, almost ethereal daughter of the town's Baptist minister ... Jamie, who was destined to show him the depths of the human heart-and the joy and pain of living.

The inspiration for this novel came from Nicholas Sparks's sister: her life and her courage.
