Dear John

by Nicholas Sparks



      In this modern-day love story, boy meets girl on a beach in North Carolina. John, on leave from the army and fed up with the way his life has gone so far, is drinking beer and contemplating his life when he meets Savannah. She brings new meaning to his life, and in hopes he can finish his stay in the service and get back to her, John tries to fit into her lifestyle - a life different from the one he’s always known with a father he struggles to understand. A fight, a war and 9/11 all serve as interrupters in John’s plan for happily ever after with Savannah.

One day a "Dear John" letter arrives for him while he is still fighting the war and far from home. Can John pick up the pieces of his broken heart? Will he ever see Savannah again? This is a poignant story set in the time of the life we know now as post 9/11. There are touches of sadness and love we all face in our life. The story is told from John’s point of view; and while you hope that Savannah will value John for the man he is, in the end it's John who will decide his future.
