  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;Nicholas Sparks brings back two characters from his beloved bestseller, &lt;i&gt;True Believer&lt;/i&gt;, in this continuing saga of extraordinary love.&lt;/b&gt;

There are few things Jeremy Marsh was sure he'd never do: he'd never leave New York City; never give his heart away again after barely surviving one failed marriage; and most of all, never become a parent. Now, Jeremy is living in the tiny town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, married to Lexie Darnell, the love of his life, and anticipating the birth of their daughter. But just as his life seems to be settling into a blissful pattern, an unsettling and mysterious message re-opens old wounds and sets off a chain of events that will forever change the course of this young couples marriage.</default_description>
