Publisher's summary

In January 2003, Nick Sparks and his brother Micah set off on a three-week trip around the world. It was to mark a milestone in their lives, for at 35 and 36, respectively, they were now the only surviving members of their family. As Nick and Micah travel the globe, the intimate story of their tragic family legacy unfolds in the details of the untimely deaths of their parents and only sister. Against the backdrop of the wonders of the world, the Sparks brothers bond together to heal, to remember, and to learn to live life to the fullest.

Critic reviews

"This is a rare opportunity for readers to get to know a favorite author as Nicholas reveals the inspirations for his fiction. A must-read for Sparks fans as well as a treat for those who want to find out what makes a family strong." (Booklist)
"Refreshingly honest and perceptive....Weaving in vignettes of tenderness and loss with travelogue-like observations, Sparks's account shows how he and his brother both evolved on this voyage." (Publishers Weekly)

One of my favorite of Nicholas Sparks books

I just loved the story telling of Nicholas Sparks and his brothers lives as they grew up. It was so refreshing to hear every important detail of their lives and what they went through as young children and adults. It was amazing how their parents, especially their mother, seemed to handle things with not really having much.
I loved the way their personalities were brought out by the telling of how they lived and how close they were to each other. They truly were an amazing family.
The telling of the trip around the world was hard to follow at times, and not so interesting. Yet, it was still good.
I loved the book, and now have a more fondness of the author just knowing the type of person he truly is. Even though I read most of his books I didn’t read the Rescue. I can’t wait to read it.

Three weeks with my brother

Where do I start... I've always loved Nicholas Sparks books and every time I have read one of his books there has always a major turning point in my life, from the death of my grandmother in the summer of 04 to my divorce in 2010 and lastly the death of my mother with each one of these turning points I would find myself wide eyed at the Similarities between what was happening to me and characters in the stories. Thank you Mr.Sparks for putting into words to all the thing I couldn't. You are an amazing!!! author.
Three Weeks With My Brother is a fabulous book.
