From one of America's most beloved-and bestselling-storytellers, here is a novel about a man and a woman trying to find courage to make the biggest commitment of all...to love someone forever.
Taylor McAden was a risk taker. A volunteer firemn in the small southern town where he had lived his entire life, he was the first to take the plunge into a burning house to resue someone, the first to put his own safety on the line. However, there was one risk that Taylor seemed unable to take, and that was to let any woman into his heart. Then he met Denise Holden.
The single mother of a little boy with severe disabilities, Denise had moved from Atlanta to the small town of Edenton, North Carolina where her grandparents had left her a house. She came to Edenton in an attempt to make ends meet while devoting herself to the care of her child. Falling in love was the last thing she intended.
A near fatal car crash brings Denise and Taylor together, and awakens in them felings long dormant. But before Taylor can fully welcome Denise and Kyle into his life, he must first take the ultimate risk-to look into his heart and his past, and see if it's not too late to take a chance on the future.

Summary: Sparks does it again
Comment: I've read several Sparks books and this one is one of the better ones. In typical Sparks fashion, love is not worth having if there isn't a little pain in the process. Sounds bad but is apparent in all the Sparks novels I've read thus far. This one is no exception. Denise is a mother of a child with a mis-categorized learning disability. Sparks does an excellent job of developing her character and giving the reader enough insight to understand the conflict a mother of a child with a learning disability faces. You feel her determination, patience, and want her to have the chance to experience more in life. Taylor comes to the rescue in the beginning when her son is lost in a car accident. A relationship begins to develop both between Taylor and Denise and between Taylor and Kyle, Denise's son. Taylor, as with all other relationships, begins to distance himself when things start to get serious. The question then becomes, is Denise the one who can rescue Taylor? This is a beautiful story of love, patience, understanding, forgiveness and second chances.

Summary: What a rescue
Comment: I really enjoyed reading this book. Nicholas Sparks has done it again! The story starts out with a single mother named Denise is driving through this hellious storm with her 4 year old son Klye in the back seat. She nearly hits a deer and crashes her car. When she comes to, Denise learns that her son, had escaped. Volunter Fire fighter Taylor, comes to the rescue and finds her son.
They run into each other a few other times and they decided to start dating. Taylor and Denise then start to fall for each other. Once they really deep,Denise learns that Taylor starting to drift away. She doesn't understand why.
Theme of the book is that don't be afraid to love someone. If you do then you will be alone for the rest of your life. I think this theme is so true.
I really recommend this book!
