Book Description:
Recently selected as the Best Author by readers of Entertainment Weekly, Nicholas Sparks is one of America's preeminent storytellers. Now Sparks spins a tale about a man, a woman, and the devastating secret that threatens to keep them apart...
Miles Ryan's life seemed to end the day his wife was killed in a hit-and-run accident two years ago. Missy had been his first love, and Miles fervently believes she will be his last. As a deputy sheriff in the North Carolina town of New Bern, Miles Ryan not only grieves for Missy, but longs to bring the unknown driver to justice.
Then Miles meets Sarah Andrews. The second grade teacher of his son, Jonah, Sarah had left Baltimore after a difficult divorce to start over in the gentler surroundings of New Bern. Perhaps it is her own emotional wounds that make her sensitive to the hurt she first sees in Jonah's eyes, and then his father's. Tentatively, Sarah and Miles reach out to each other. Soon they are both laughing for the first time in years...and falling in love.
Neither will be able to guess how closely linked they are to a shocking secret-one that will force them to question everything they ever believed in...and make a heartbreaking choice that will change their lives forever.
In A BEND IN THE ROAD Nicholas Sparks writes with a luminous intensity about life's bitter turns and incomparable sweetness. His affirming message carries a powerful lesson about the imperfections of being human, the mistakes we all make, and the joy that comes when we give ourselves to love.

Absolutely great story. While the "whodunit" part was easy to figure out, the rest of the story more than makes up for it. The plot was strong and the range of emotions that the characters go through was very realistic.

Franchesca M. (Loved this book. A little predictable, but a great read none the less. Finished it in one sitting because I couldn't put it down.
Loved it, by far my favorite author. He pulls you in to the story and I can not seem to put it down until I've finished. Feel good story, great!!
How can you go wrong with Nicholas Sparks? Another well written, tear jerking, great read!!
I am a big Nicholas Sparks fan, so i am bias, however this book kept me interested through every page I turned. When I got a quarter of the way through the book, I was trying to figure out the plot and the "who done it" scenarios.
The love story is so cute! The story is a little "bookish" but you didn't see the ending coming. Very Nicholas Sparks, but worth the read!
What a wonderful book. I could hardly wait to see what happened next.
