Book Description:
Taylor McAden is a volunteer fireman who is always the first to plunge into danger. But there is one risk he can't seem to take: falling in love. Then he meets Denise Holden, a single mother who has moved to the small town of Edenton, North Carolina, to build a new life. A near fatal car crash will bring these two together; but before that can happen, Taylor must first look into his past and see if it's not too late to take a chance on the future.

"All of Sparks's trademark elements - love, loss, and small town life - are present in this terrific read." (Amazon.com)

Only the 2nd book I've read by this author, but he's very good and I'm looking for more of his books.

A must read for Sparks fans. As usual, do not read it in public, or have a kleenex near!

Nice and sappy. A good light read. Although I didn't care for the kidspeak (there's a nearly autistic kid character and Sparks writes what the kid says and then again HOW he says it... like in the kids' language... that was annoying).

Another great read by Sparks, unabashedly rich and moving

From back cover: Volunteer fireman Taylor McAden is driven to take terrifying, heroic risks to save lives. But there's one leap into the unknown he can't bring himself to make. He can't fall in love. A man who likes to rescue troubled women, he inevitably leaves them as soon as they want more from him.
Then, one day, a record-breaking storm hits his small Southern town, and Taylor comes across a young single mother named Denise Holton in a crashed car. When she revives, Taylor finds himself looking for her missing son--and involved in a rescue different from all the others. This one will require him to open doors to his past slammed shut by pain. And with Denise's help, dare him to make the greatest committment of all: love someone forever.

This one is definitely my favorite Nicholas Sparks book even though it's never got as much attention as some of his other hits have.
