After a hit-and-run driver kills the love of his life, Miles Ryan is left to care for Jonah, his sweet little boy, while seeing to his duties as deputy sheriff of New Bern, North Carolina. For two years he hasn't been able to say his wife's name without feeling rage for the killer who's stolen his happiness. Miles never believed that he could find another love to fill him with the passion and wonder he'd once felt for Missy. But with Sarah Andrews, he could see the sparks fly. Sarah, who is also Jonah's teacher, has come to New Bern seeking a new start after her bitter divorce. She recognizes in Miles a man strong enough to make her forget her past. Love heals all wounds, and Sarah and Miles are almost whole when a devastating secret from Sarah's past is revealed...something she never knew...something that links her to the most terrible time in Miles' life. And love may not be enough to save them. Only the author of The Notebook and Message in a Bottle could make us feel every emotion in this tender story. Nicholas Sparks is sure to find a new place on the bestseller list--and in your heart--with A Bend in the Road.

Another wonderfully written story by Nicholas Sparks. He has a way of making you feel you are there and feeling what his characters are. Highly recommended.

Nicholas Sparks is a great author.
I just love his books. So far, I've read several of his books and really got hooked. Once I start one I can't put it down. Looking for a follow up story on this one. Can't wait.

I could not put this book down. Keep trying to figure it out. He kept me in suspense the entire book. Would love to see a follow up book.
