John Tyree lives alone with his father who seldom communicates. He rebels as a youth, runs with the wrong crowd, and is headed for a life of failure. He joins the army which grows him up and opens his eyes to responsibility. While on leave he falls in love with a girl studying special education who enables him to understand his estranged father. They vow to wait for each other, and then 9/11 happens. John makes a difficult decision, but when you love someone, you do what is best for that person, even when it hurts.

Nicholas Sparks has written another one that tears at your heartstrings. He "explores the complexities of love--how it survives time and heartbreak, and how it transforms us forever."
