There is no denying that Sparks is an outstanding writer, and that's what drew me to this book.
A father who loves his daughter more than anything in the world is placed in the position of making the most difficult decision of his life: should he let his daughter go?
This is the story of a young man who fell in love, got married, and had a child before his world began to crumble around him. My main ministry is divorce recovery, and I've been divorced myself (though I'm married to a wonderful man now). Sparks' descriptions of the struggles, range of emotions, and a family torn apart are not without foundation. Infidelity, I would say from my experience, is the number one reason for divorce in this country; when children are involved, it is devastating to them on a major scale.
This story is not action-packed, sci-fi, space opera, murder mystery, or anything like that. It is the story of a man, his family, his wins and losses, and a life lived through happy times, tough times, and sad times. But it is worth the read. I had a difficult time putting it down because I believe Sparks wrote this from his heart. You'll experience a wide range of emotions, but you'll find that love conquers all in the end.
