Landon Carter is now 57 years old and he is telling his love story from when he was a senior in high school. He still
remembers the events of something that he thought was just a friendship as if it was yesterday.
Jamie Sullivan was a minister’s daughter, who wore boring brown sweaters every day, always tied her hair up in a bun,
and always had her Bible with her. She is the girl that you would think of when you would imagine the person who gets
made fun of in high school. She had never been on a date in her life, and Landon was one of the more popular boys in
his high school.
Landon didn’t have a date for homecoming, so he decided that he would ask Jamie because she was too sweet to say
no and wouldn’t have a date yet. When he asked, she said "promise me that you won’t fall in love with me."
After a horrible night at homecoming, Jamie asked Landon to play the male lead in an upcoming Christmas play that
was performed every year, and was a very big deal in the town. Landon didn’t really want to, but Jamie talked him into
it because she was playing the lead female and her father had written the play -- and Jamie wanted the play to be very
special. After about two months of constant rehearsals, the play was performed and the town knew that this had been
the best year ever. And Landon had to admit that it went well, and that he was falling in love with dorky Jamie. But
there is a secret that Jamie was hiding from Landon. What could it possibly be? And why did she tell Landon not to fall
in love with her?
This is another powerful love story from an author that makes you believe in love. Read this amazing novel to find out
the secrets of Landon and Jamie.
