I see this was written in 2001 and I have enjoyed other books better from Sparks since this was written. Not to say avoid this book but this reader was a little less impressed with the character and story flow in "a bend..." I guess my main problem is the protagonist Miles, a sheriff in a small town who comes off a little silly and too drama prone for the story's own good. Still can't wait to read another novel by this talented writer.

I have become a Nicholas Sparks fan and have come to expect certain things with his writing. This and At First Sight were the two exceptions for which I couldn't imagine the ending if I tried. This book chronicles Miles Ryan and his son, Jonah, attempting to live their lives as normally as possible after the death of their wife and mother. While walking along a bendy road, she is struck by a vehicle, covered with a blanket, and left. Miles, an employee of the sheriff's department, is completely distraught and finds himself investigating on his own while his department also investigates. Eventually, he moves on and begins to fall for his son's teacher, Sarah. This story is very touching and romantic, and also is a frank portrayal of an adult attempting to get back in touch with the dating scene he has been out of for so long. While at times the book was predictable, Sparks' writing gives it an unexpected edge and you will find yourself enjoying it, even if you have a feeling about what's to come.

Great book, sad story, twisted ending.
I have liked all of Nicholas Sparks books so far. I really didn't expect the ending though.

I have read almost all of the books by Nicholas Sparks. This is one of the best. It captured me on the first page and I couldn't put it down. The ending was different from most and a welcome relief.
