Seventeen year old Veronica "Ronnie" Miller's life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alientated from her parents, especially her father...until her mother decides it would be in everyone's best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie's father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church.

The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story of love on many levels--first love, love between parents and children -- that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that love can break our hearts...and heal them.

He's done it once again! Sparks never disappoints me. I recommend this book to all who enjoy emotionally filled novels. From beginning to end I was glued to the story of Ronnie and the relationships around her.

Although it is still not my favorite Sparks novel, The last song will be picked up again in the future however next time I will be prepared with a box of tissues.
