This is the first book that I have read from Nicholas Sparks & I was not disappointed. It is actually 2 stories in 1 that eventually intertwine with each other. 91 year old Ira Levinson is in trouble. He has crashed his car in the the middle of winter & is in a remote area & is trapped in his car with no chance of help coming soon. As he is in his car, his wife, Ruth, who has been dead for 9 years, comes to him & they reminisce about their marriage, life & art collection. Meanwhile, Sophia Danko, who is in her senior year of college, has just broken up with her cheating boyfriend, Brian. She decides to get out & go to a rodeo with her friends. There she meets a handsome cowboy named Luke. Luke is a bull rider. Sophia & Luke fall in love. Sophia is worried about Luke's career as a bull rider & worries about him getting hurt. They are also worried about what they are going to do about their relationship & where it will go once Sophia finishes her senior year at college. Eventually, Sophia's & Luke's lives collide with that of Ira's & Ruth's. The story has many twists & turns. I won't say more because I don't want to ruin the story. Excellent book! Kept me turning the pages, waiting to see what happens next! Read it, you won't be sorry! Will definitely read more Nicholas Sparks books! Also, love his movies! I read this book before the movie came out.
