A Walk to Remember

A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks is an older book, but it is one of my favorites (by my favorite author: Nicholas Sparks!)  I have read this book and watched to movie more times than I can count.

The story line to A Walk To Remember follows: In 1958, Landon Carter is a teenager who spends most of his time hanging out with his friends and trying hard to ignore the impending responsibilities of adulthood. Then Landon gets roped into acting the lead in the Christmas play opposite the most renowned goody two-shoes in town: Jamie Sullivan. Against his best intentions and the taunts of his buddies, Landon finds himself falling for Jamie and learning some central lessons in life.

This is sure to bring a tear to the eye of readers. As the author suggests, “first you’ll smile, then you’ll cry”. You might also check out the movie of the same title, which was based off of this book.
