The book starts out with Katie, a single woman, living in a cottage in the small town of Southport, North Carolina. She has just moved in and is working in a small restaurant in town. She is a very pretty lady and her arrival and lifestyle raise questions about her past and present. There is a guy, Alex, who runs a convenience store where she goes a couple of times a week. As her relationship with him and his kids takes off more questions of her past arise.
Katie’s neighbor, Jo, helps her sort through some of her problems, but as soon as she starts to become comfortable with her new life all of the secrets of her past come out and she is sent into a world wind of emotions that only the truth can uncover. Her abusive husband comes to find her in this town and when he shows up it is bad news for everyone.
I will not spoil the entire book, but I will start by saying that this book was a nail bitter. There were so many times that I wanted to flip to the last couple of pages and find out what was going to happen. This was not a typical Nicholas Sparks book; normally I cannot read the pages for the stream of tears coming for my eyes and this one is I was cheering for the happiness I was crying because I felt that she finally felt free.
I have never been abused or even felt hurt, but as the thoughts were going through this woman’s head I felt the pain and anguish that her husband has caused her, and as Sparks switched to the husbands thoughts I could feel the anger and was almost scared for her life. It was probably one of the best books I have ever read…..But I say that about most books J definitely a must read!
I cannot WAIT to see the movie it is going to be amazing!
