Publisher Description
From New York Times bestselling author Nicholas Sparks, a supernatural love story between a journalist and a librarian who dare to believe in the impossible.
Science journalist Jeremy Marsh specializes in debunking the supernatural–until he falls in love with the granddaughter of the town psychic, Lexie Darnell.
When Jeremy receives a letter from Boone Creek, North Carolina, about ghostly lights appearing in a cemetery, he can't resist driving down to investigate. From the moment Jeremy sets eyes on Lexie, the town librarian, he is intrigued. And Lexie finds herself thinking of him more than she cares to admit.
Now, if they are to be together, Jeremy must do something he's never done before–take a giant leap of faith.
True Believer will make you believe in the miracle of love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Charming, divorced Jeremy Marsh is a rising star. As a dashing, successful 37-year-old Manhattan science journalist, his skeptical scrutiny of ineffective antidepressants, cults and television clairvoyants has caught the eye of North Carolina restaurant owner Doris McClellan, who invites Jeremy to bucolic Boone Creek to scoop the story of eerie mystery lights appearing in an ancient cemetery. A diviner who can predict the sex of unborn babies, Doris suspects the lights are a ghostly curse. Her beautiful librarian granddaughter, Lexie Darnell, makes a lovely, if guarded, tour guide as Jeremy revs up his electromagnetic equipment for the ghost hunt. After witnessing the ethereal graveside lights, both grow closer, much to the chagrin of local deputy Rodney Hopper, who wants Lexie for himself. Guided by sage Doris and manipulated by meddling mayor Tom Gherkin, big-city Jeremy and smalltown Lexie find that trepidation about their differences somehow manages to bloom into love. Jeremy eventually uncovers the hidden truth behind the glowing graveyard fog and departs the lush gothic environs for New York. Can love bridge the gap? Sparks (The Wedding) delivers another shrink-wrapped, reliably uncomplicated romantic confection that's light as air, smooth as silk and gloriously sweet.

It was ok kind of predictable
Hated It
I have listened to MANY Nicholas Sparks’ books and this one is not good at all. I am in chapter 8 and can’t wait for it to end. The characters are boring and not credible (flat to say the least). While Nicholas Sparks has been one of my favorite, go to authors in the past, I will think twice before purchasing the next one. (After reading some of the other reviews, I wonder am I even listening to the same book). I will keeping listening to the entire book because I keep hoping it will get better. So disappointed!
