About this listen
Then, one day, a raging, record-breaking storm hits his small Southern town. Denise Holton, a young single mother, is driving through it when her car skids off the road. With her is her four-year-old son, Kyle. Unconscious and bleeding, she - not Kyle - is found. And when she wakes, the chilling truth becomes clear to both of them: Kyle is gone.
During the search for Kyle, the connection, the lifeline, between Taylor and Denise takes root. Taylor doesn't know that this rescue will lead him to the possibility of his own rescue from a life lived without love. That it will dare him to live life to the fullest by daring to love.

Different
Not as good as most Nicholas Sparks books. I am actually wondering if he has other writers writing under his name now like Danielle Steele and other romance writers have done.

Great story- Cringeworthy narration
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The narrators were not right for this book. Mary Beth Hurt made Denise sound like an old lady with a terrible southern accent. John Belford Lloyd made Taylor sound like an idiot. Don't even get me started on how each of them made the child sound. If it hadn't been for the fact that the storyline was interesting, I would have given up on the book immediately.

Not what I expected.
This audio is abridged, and I didnt realize that until I began listening. Much of the story is left out. Glad I have the paperbook copy at home. If you're looking for a book you can finish in a day, this is good. Nicholas Sparks always does a great job of writing. Narration was disappointing.

Good story - music distracting
I enjoyed the story line however, the random music while the narrator was reading was distracting and annoying at times. I didn't mind the parts between to "separate" who was telling the story but the other times I didn't care for. I am a Sparks fan, I like most all of his books because of the love story that is involved. It is a nice to live inside the book and see the vivid imagery.
