Publisher Description
A high school rebel and a minister's daughter find strength in each other in this star-crossed tale of "young but everlasting love" (Chicago Sun-Times).
There was a time when the world was sweeter....when the women in Beaufort, North Carolina, wore dresses, and the men donned hats.... Every April, when the wind smells of both the sea and lilacs, Landon Carter remembers 1958, his last year at Beaufort High. Landon had dated a girl or two, and even once sworn that he'd been in love. Certainly the last person he thought he'd fall for was Jamie, the shy, almost ethereal daughter of the town's Baptist minister....Jamie, who was destined to show him the depths of the human heart-and the joy and pain of living. The inspiration for this novel came from Nicholas Sparks's sister: her life and her courage. From the internationally bestselling author Nicholas Sparks, comes his most moving story yet....
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When Nicholas Sparks’ third novel was brought to the screen in 2002, its setting was changed to the present day. As much as we loved Mandy Moore in that movie, the book’s 1950s setting gives this love story a nostalgic feel that just works better. Sparks’ star-crossed lovers—Landon, the wealthy son of a congressman, and Jamie, the quiet daughter of a local minister—struggle to follow their hearts and foster their relationship. Set in a small North Carolina town, A Walk to Remember explores themes of social class, religion, and peer pressure. As always, Sparks delivers both warmth and tears.

Reply to book A Walk to Remember
From a student's point of view, who is in the sixth grade, I think this book is emotional, which helps me understanding deeper things. Also since i have seen these kind of emotional problems, I like this book way better, it made me visualize what happened. I think that this is a really great book, not just because it relates to other things i have seen, but because i can understand these kind of things. I am not only a kid who has a different understandings of love, but I'm also a kid who needs to learn more about these kind of different things, knowing love is not the only important thing. In school, sometimes i lose hope, knowing some of the work i receive from my teacher is too hard i want to give up. But some people just cheer me up, my friends, who is there for me, supporting when some things are new to me. My friends show some part of Jamie, being kind. I know i am kind of talking about my life, but all i want to say, this book is a great example for not only adults but also for kids in my age. Showing that there are more things important in life, love, kindness and caring for God and believing in him.
A Walk To Remember a good book?
I really did enjoy reading the book "A Walk to Remember." I would rate the book an 8.5 out of 10. In my opinion it is better then the movie. I think that not all people would like this book because it is written as a sad love story and not everyone likes that, but I do. With Nicholas Sparks books you will never be disappointed, he knows how to add enough detail so you can imagine it, instead of giving it away. The book "A Walk to Remember" is taking place in a teens life, they are not fully adults yet, they are kids so that helped me knowing that they are near the same age as me, but they are still a little older. A Walk to Remember is a wonderful book, it is a perfect like read for most teens and adults. This novel reminds me of a book "The Fault in Our Stars" both books are about love, and sicknesses. They aren't the exact same but they are somewhat close.
