The Longest Ride: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *

In the tradition of his beloved first novel, The Notebook, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nicholas Sparks returns with the remarkable story of two couples whose lives intersect in profound and surprising ways.

Ira Levinson is in trouble. Ninety-one years old and stranded and injured after a car crash, he struggles to retain consciousness until a blurry image materializes beside him: his beloved wife Ruth, who passed away nine years ago. Urging him to hang on, she forces him to remain alert by recounting the stories of their lifetime together.

A few miles away, at a local bull-riding event, a Wake Forest College senior's life is about to change. Recovering from a recent break-up, Sophia Danko meets a young cowboy named Luke, who bears little resemblance to the privileged frat boys she has encountered at school. Through Luke, Sophia is introduced to a world in which the stakes of survival and success, ruin and reward -- even life and death -- loom large in everyday life. As she and Luke fall in love, Sophia finds herself imagining a future far removed from her plans -- a future that Luke has the power to rewrite . . . if the secret he's keeping doesn't destroy it first.

Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples who have little in common, and who are separated by years and experience. Yet their lives will converge with unexpected poignancy, reminding us all that even the most difficult decisions can yield extraordinary journeys: beyond despair, beyond death, to the farthest reaches of the human heart.

*Booktrack editions are essentially a new genre of digital storytelling entertainment. Music and ambient audio are added to complement and enhance the audiobook experience. It is a synchronized movie-style soundtrack that complements the narration of existing audiobooks; the tempo and rhythm of the score harmonize with action, dialogue and the characters' emotional arcs.

Loved it!!

I have yet to read a book by Nicholas Sparks that I DON'T LOVE!!! He 8s an amazing author!

Nicholas Sparks

There has not been a book or movie from Nicholas Sparks that has not given me such a wonderful, good feeling about love, life & family. I have to admit that as I read the two story lines in The Longest Ride, I could not for the life of me see how the wonderful man's life story with the love of his life; the terrible car accident would ever blend into such a wonderful heart warming story of leaving his fortune to a couple in need. This changed their life. I haven't missed many of Spark's books, and all have left me loving the story and enjoying the reading.

Breathtaking

The way the two couples, decades apart become one is totally beautiful. I loved this book and at some points had me in tears. If you believe that we meet certain people for a reason then this book is for you.

Great

Enjoyed listening to this book very much. I recommend it wholeheartedly and will look for other publications.

Wonderful book

So far this is my favorite book from this author. It is a tender story of a man and the woman he loves as well as a young man and the young woman he loves. In both relationships they pair are somewhat unlikely but love and goodness changed the dynamic
