  <default_description>Seventeen-year-old Veronica 'Ronnie' Miller's life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alienated from her parents, especially her father ...until her mother decides it would be in everyone's best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie's father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church. The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story about love in its myriad forms - first love, the love between parents and children - that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that deeply felt relationships can break our hearts ...and heal them.

    <body><![CDATA[I just finished reading this book and I have a little story about every single Nicholas Sparks book I own. I have all of his books in hard back and I usually pre-order them months before they are released and they are usually waiting on my doorstep on the release date.

She'd rather spend her time in New York City with her friends at the clubs.
