Sparks wrote one of his best-known stories, The Notebook, over a period of six months at age 28. All of his books have been New York Times bestsellers, with over 105 million copies sold worldwide, in more than 50 languages, including over 75 million copies in the United States alone. Nicholas Sparks is one of the world’s most beloved storytellers. Now, in A Walk to Remember, he tells a truly unforgettable story, one that glimmers with all of his magic, holding us spellbound-and reminding us that in life each of us may find one great love, the kind that changes everything.

Illuminating both the strength and the gossamer fragility of our deepest emotions, his two New York Times bestsellers, The Notebook and Message in a Bottle, have established him as the leading author of today's most cherished love stories. No other author today touches our emotions more deeply than Nicholas Sparks. Being with Jamie would show him the depths of the human heart and lead him to a decision so stunning it would send him irrevocably on the road to manhood. Then a twist of fate made Jamie his partner for the homecoming dance, and Landon Carter's life would never be the same. She took care of her widowed father, rescued hurt animals, and helped out at the local orphanage. A quiet girl who always carried a Bible with her schoolbooks, Jamie seemed content living in a world apart from the other teens. Certainly the last person in town he thought he'd fall for was Jamie Sullivan, the daughter of the town's Baptist minister.

He even swore that he had once been in love. It was 1958, and Landon had already dated a girl or two. Every April, when the wind blows in from the sea and mingles with the scent of lilacs, Landon Carter remembers his last year at Beaufort High. There was a time when the world was sweeter.when the women in Beaufort, North Carolina, wore dresses, and the men donned hats.when something happened to a seventeen-year-old boy that would change his life forever.
