Dear John - Paperback

by Nicholas Sparks (Author)

When a rebel serving in the army meets the girl of his dreams, he must face an impossible choice as a national tragedy forces them apart in this powerful story from the New York Times bestselling author of The Notebook, and the inspiration for the film starring Amanda Seyfriend and Channing Tatum.

An angry rebel, John dropped out of school and enlisted in the Army, not knowing what else to do with his life--until he meets the girl of his dreams, Savannah. Their mutual attraction quickly grows into the kind of love that leaves Savannah waiting for John to finish his tour of duty, and John wanting to settle down with the woman who captured his heart.

But 9/11 changes everything.

John feels it is his duty to re-enlist. And sadly, the long separation finds Savannah falling in love with someone else. "Dear John," the letter read ... and with those two words, a heart was broken and two lives were changed forever. Returning home, John must come to grips with the fact that Savannah, now married, is still his true love--and face the hardest decision of his life.
