Publisher's summary

From the author of A Walk to Remember comes a moving tale of redemption and first love when a rebellious teenager decides to spend the summer with her estranged father in a North Carolina beach town.

Seventeen year old Veronica "Ronnie" Miller's life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alienated from her parents, especially her father...until her mother decides it would be in everyone's best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie's father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church.

The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story of love on many levels - first love, love between parents and children - that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that love can break our hearts...and heal them.

His best so far!

I’ve read several of Nicholas’ books and enjoyed reading them all but this one is special. I do admit that being a mom who still remembers those stubborn teen years I paused after listening to the first few chapters - it brought back the memories of wanting a closer relationship with a sullen daughter who held everything inside. The story touches the heart and as always has a happy ending

A fantastically heartwarming journey

Although this book was highly recommended, as I began listening, I became a bit hesitant, wondering if I’d gotten myself into a young adult selection. Just a bit further however, and I was captivated. What a truly wonderful composition this story is, and so beautifully set to the piano snippets! The narrator’s both were perfect for the storyline and characters. Great job all!

Very good book

A teenager finds out who she really is and looks back at what a jerk she had. When I’m the past. A real tear jerker but very god book I really enjoyed listening to it. Couldn’t stop

Great book!

After watching the movie Safe Haven, I had to listen to the book, which was my first Nicholas Sparks book. As always, the book is better than the movie. Then I decided to listen to The Last Song. I had seen the movie long ago and it helped put a face to the characters. Sparks is phenomenal at his art. He has a way of writing about things that puts you there feeling the emotions in his words. I went to school in North Carolina not far from the ocean, so I was there.

Amazing!

This book was amazing. Nothing like the movie. It held my interest to the end. I felt the narrators did a great job. Nickolas Sparks does such an amazing job with writing his books. Im sure I will listen to this book again some day.

One of my favorite couples

Will and Ronnie are probably the best couple in a Spark's novel sense Allie and Noah.
