A Walk to Remember
240 pages · First published 1999
In 1958 North Carolina, rebellious teenager Landon Carter unexpectedly becomes involved with Jamie Sullivan, the quiet minister’s daughter he has largely ignored at school. Agreeing to help her with a Christmas play brings them together, and Landon begins seeing qualities in Jamie that challenge his assumptions about popularity, faith, and what matters. Their growing relationship is transformed by a revelation that makes their time together painfully limited. Nicholas Sparks’s coming-of-age romance combines first love, Christian faith, and grief in a story narrated by an older Landon looking back on the year that permanently changed him.
