This a new book I am reading, and the first thing that I read was the acknowledgments because usually you can get a feel for what the authors personality is from who they dedicate the book to. For Nicholoas Sparks, he tried to thank everyone and anyone that he could which really shows that he cares about the people around him, and wanted them to know that they impact ths life.
In the beginning, it is basically giving background information on the main character, Adreienne and is very descriptive on her personality traits and characteristics. The story is told in 3rd person, making it feel like you are watching the story from affar. Adreinne is an older women around 60, and in the beginning, there are some flashbacks an Inn that her and her husband used to stay at, (very descriptive). She lived alone, she was divorced from a man named Jack, her father had died in 1996. She had childeren that were in there early thirties. All of them were happily married accept for the youngest whos husband had died of testicular cancer which took a huge toll on there family. Ever since Amanda's husband died, she had not been the person she used to be. She was in a major depression, and most of the Adreinne would help take care of her kids while she weeped in her bedroom. Adrienne was a good grandma. She understood that is was hard, but what Amanda didnt realize was that her kids were suffering too, and it probably seemed like they had lost not only one of there parents but both.
