Nicholas Sparks
Sparks has gone on to have a flourishing career writing novels in the romantic genre. As he himself insists, he is informed by his faith in God, the importance of love and understanding between people, and the fact that love itself is not only a reality but the highest reality in life. His numerous bestsellers indicate that Sparks is not alone in his belief. It appears, rather, that many readers appreciate the very same themes and ideals that he depicts in such works as A Walk to Remember.
It may be considered ironic that the year in which Nicholas Sparks’ third novel is set and described with such nostalgia actually preceded the author’s birth by nearly a decade. Born on the last day of 1965, Sparks was a child of the revolutionary ’60s and ’70s—not of the ’50s. Unlike his main character, Landon Worth, Sparks had no firsthand account of life in 1950s Beaufort. Moreover, he was not raised a Baptist like Landon, but rather as a Roman Catholic.
