Another of Nicholas Sparks' wonderful novels of loss and triumph. Just when life seems the bleakest, an unexpected turn can make one whole again!

This is about a man and a woman who fall in love after he has lost his first wife in a car accident. This is all about who killed his wife. A secret to the end.

I did not read this. I got involved in other series and was not in the "mood" for Sparks. Othere reviews say it is sweet, uplifing and wonderful.
