While I'm not much of a Nicholas Sparks fan, this was a very touching book. It gives a glimpse of the life he had growing up and the hardships that he and his family endured over the years. It helped me to see why many of his books seem to be somber and dreary, for the experiences in his life inspired many of his books. While it didn't morph me into a Nicholas Sparks fan necessarily, it did pull at my heartstrings a bit to find out the struggles that his family were put through. I wasn't very interested in hearing about the countries he visited so I sort of skimmed some of the specifics, but the love he has for his brother is apparent and kept me wanting to keep reading. I finished this book within just a couple of days. Parts of the book may make you realize how short life can be and cause you to cherish what time we have in this world.
