The Best of Me

WOW!  What a great story.

I have missed holding a book and turning pages (I have been using the Kindle mostly).  So I was very excited to read this "real" book anyway.  But the story is amazing.

And unlike many Nicholas Sparks books there are pages of love making.

Dawson and Amanda couldn't come from more different worlds.  Dawson was born into a family of law breakers and drug dealers...although the apple couldn't have fallen further from the tree if the tree was on a hill.  Amanda came from a well known family on the right side of the town with all the comforts a girl could want.  In high school they were paired together in lab and were inseparably for the rest of the year and summer.  They fell madly and deeply in love and when their parents tried to pull them apart the grew closer together.

But as kids do...they grew up and events forced them to part.  Life took them in very different directions.  25 years later they find themselves back home for the funeral of a mutual friend.  Neither of them could realize what it would be like seeing each other again after so long...and what would unfold as a result.

Intrigued???

You should be.  And then you should read it! I have a copy if you want to read it.
