About this listen

They were teenage sweethearts from opposite sides of the tracks - with a passion that would change their lives forever. But life would force them apart. Years later, the lines between past and present are about to slip....

Called back to their hometown for the funeral of the mentor who gave them shelter when they needed it most, they are faced with each other once again. Can true love ever rewrite the past?

The new epic love story from the multi-million copy best-selling author of The Notebook and The Last Song. Nicholas Sparks is one of the world's most beloved authors.

I should have known by the title how it would end. Didn't get my happy ending but I enjoyed it.
