A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks

A Walk to Remember, by Nicholas Sparks take you on a whirl

wind journey into the depths of the human heart, and leads Landon, one of the

main characters, to a decision so stunning it would lead him irrevocably on the

road to manhood. Landon the most popular boy in Beuford High and fall's

> unexpectedly in love with Jamie, and unpopular, bible-bearing girl. It was

would tear them apart. Landon had recently broken up with his girlfriend of

1-1/2 years and it was a twist of fate that make Jamie his date for the

homecoming dance. They went to the dance and did not speak to each other until they

were both cast a the lead in the towns Christmas play. After the play was over

Landon found himself wanting, and being with Jamie everyday, he was
