A Walk to Remember, Hardcover/Nicholas Sparks

Awards Winner (2003 - 2004) - Iowa High School Book Award - (Young Adult) Winner (2003) - Colorado Blue Spruce Award - (Young Adult) Contributor(s): Author: Nicholas Sparks There was a time when the world was sweeter....when the women in Beaufort, North Carolina, wore dresses, and the men donned hats.... Every April, when the wind smells of both the sea and lilacs, Landon Carter remembers 1958, his last year at Beaufort High. Landon had dated a girl or two, and even once sworn that he'd been in love. Certainly the last person he thought he'd fall for was Jamie, the shy, almost ethereal daughter of the town's Baptist minister....Jamie, who was destined to show him the depths of the human heart-and the joy and pain of living. The inspiration for this novel came from Nicholas Sparks's sister: her life and her courage. From the internationally bestselling author Nicholas Sparks, comes his most moving story yet....   Review citations Library Journal Prepub Alert - pg. 88 - 06/01/1999 Kirkus Reviews - pg. 1252 - 08/15/1999 Booklist - pg. 1989 - 08/01/1999 Publishers Weekly - pg. 42 - 08/23/1999 Ingram Advance - pg. 33 - 10/01/1999 Entertainment Weekly - pg. 74 - 10/15/1999 People Weekly - pg. 68 - 11/29/1999 Booklist Ed Choice Adu Bk YA's - pg. 819 - 01/01/2000 Library Journal - 06/01/1999
