THE NOTEBOOK
by Nicholas Sparks
A novel of "true love" from teen years to Alzheimer's. While very moving and with the potential to make us value and appreciate more the one we love, it also runs the risk of promoting the myth of "one true soul mate" out there somewhere for me. The danger? What if Allie met or reconnected with Noah after marrying Lon? The other danger? Expectations that a marriage must be a romance novel. But the power of love and the commitment modeled in the difficult "senior care" years is inspiring.
