A tender story of hope and joy; of sacrifice and forgiveness -- a moving reminder that love is possible at any age, at any time, and often comes when we least expect it. At forty-five, Adrienne Willis must rethink her entire life when her husband abandons her for a younger woman. Reeling with heartache and in search of a respite, she flees to the small coastal town of Rodanthe, North Carolina to tend to a friend's inn for the weekend. But when a major storm starts moving in, it appears that Adrienne's perfect getaway will be ruined -- until a guest named Paul Flanner arrives. At fifty-four, Paul has just sold his medical practice and come to Rodanthe to escape his own shattered past. Now, with the storm closing in, two wounded people will turn to each other for comfort -- and in one weekend set in motion feelings that will resonate throughout the rest of their lives...http://www.nicholassparks.com/LearnMore.asp?BookID=6

I was hoping that the book would have been the same as the movie, but it wasn't. The book's story was longer and more in detail, but the way the story was played in the movie was just bit's and pieces of what went on in the book and the real story was severly modified. Most of it was cut out of the movie. I have to say the movie was much better.
