This novel delivers several stories that tie to one anther nicelt. It somewhat reminds me of his novel A Walk To Remember, an all-time favorite of mine. This book has the story of Ronnie coming of age, discovering her true self, and falling in love for the first time. This book also has the story of a family that finds a way to heal, forgive one another, and band together in the face of adversity. Like most of Nicholas Sparks other books, it exudes the warmth and compassion that this reader loves! He also writes in a Christian thread into this stroy, which I appreciated and enjoyed.
A prevalent dynamic in the book was the relationship between father and daughter. In this story, Ronnie formed opinions of her dad that were solely based on her assumptions. She blamed him for so much that was wrong with the divorce and within their family life. She put up a wall in between them. Although Steve wasn't the perfect father, he was a good, loving, and patient one. Like all parents, there was room for improvement, however he did have the ability to see the bigger picture where his daughter was concerned, Steve held the wisdom to exhibit patience and allow Ronnie to discover the truth of her own. Hiss approach to parenting his nearly 18-year-old daughter with problems, paid off the right dividends because it brought them closer together.
