Description
In this #1 New York Times bestselling follow-up to True Believer, a young couple's love faces the ultimate test when the past disrupts the life and family they've built together.
There are a few things Jeremy Marsh was sure he'd never do: he'd never leave New York City; never give his heart away again after barely surviving one failed marriage; and, most of all, never become a parent. Now, Jeremy is living in the tiny town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, married to Lexie Darnell, the love of his life, and anticipating the birth of their daughter. But just as his life seems to be settling into a blissful pattern, an unsettling and mysterious message re-opens old wounds and sets off a chain of events that will forever change the course of this young couple's marriage.
Dramatic, heartbreaking and surprising, this is a story about the love between a man and a woman and between a parent and a child. More than that, it is a story that beautifully portrays how the same emotion that can break your heart is also the one that will ultimately heal it.
While the novel picks up the tale of Lexie Darnell and Jeremy Marsh that started in True Believer and will delight fans of that novel, it stands on its own as one of Nicholas Sparks's most deeply moving love stories.

5By Gladys CPABeautiful story; bittersweet ending.What a book!
5By Ava99Lately trying to find something soothing, gentle to read being upset and depressed with the incredible ugliness of this 2016 presidential election cycle, I've turned to romance type fiction which I generally don't like. But every book seemed meaningless and only written to fulfill a contract that required 400 or so pages to be written. I quit reading them soon. This is the book I was looking for. So real, so touching, so caring. Wonderful book.TRUE BELIEVER & AT FIRST SIGHT❤️
5By QTHERESSURECTIONThis book is the second in a two book series, the first book being, True Believer. When I first started reading I was extremely unimpressed and I almost gave up on it. It took awhile to get invested, but once I was hooked I was hooked. I'm so glad that I read this book and the one following. I would definitely recommend both. They made me laugh out loud, and cry silent and uncontrollable tears. It made me really think about life and because of these two books I have a whole new appreciation of life. Do yourself a favor and read these books.Writers Block?
1By SumsulaIn the book the main character has writers block and I'm beginning to wonder if Nicholas Sparks himself didn't have a touch of it too. This book was hard to get into from the beginning and hard to stick with. I am a Nicholas Sparks fan, however,I am disappointed in this book. Sadly I would not recommend you read it.Great Book <33

5By Beasty beast656A great book. Very inspiring to both mothers & fathers, sisters & brothers, grandmothers & grandparents, friends & neighbors! I'd expect nothing less from Sparks.So sad!!! (a little spoiler)!!!!
4By 5Foot1QTThis book had to have been the most sad book I ever read! I read True Beleiver and found this 2nd part by accident. I had to purchase it just because I wanted to know what had happened to Jeremy and Lexi! Then the end was so sad! I wish I would have never read it. Lexi would still be alive in my mind. (sorry if I spoiled it)! I have been so sad all day! Sad ending to such a great story!At First Sight
5By Gkskitten333Absolutely adorable! One of the cutest-and sad-books ever. Must read True Believer to fully understand its beauty. A page turned, and a must read.I Love This Book!

If you are a first time reader this book is for you! Now I'm going to find another book from Mr.Sparks! If anyone knows of another book from him that is good please let me know!At first sight
1By harleyscottI didn't really like this one to much. It read pretty slow, didn't really seem to be going anywhere. Then when it seems to be getting to the happily ever after part the author takes a big dump on you with the unexpected tragedy. Then he sort of rubs your nose in it. Left me feeling depressed.
