Dear John

Dear John
by: Nicholas Sparks

I wanted to read this book since I knew that the movie was coming out.
Well, the movie is out & I have heard nothing but wonderful things about it.

Now, if I can only get my husband to take me to see it!?!?

I must say, this is another great read!!

Here is the storyline:

When Savannah Lynn Curtis comes into his life, John Tyree knows he is ready to turn over a new leaf. An angry rebel, he had enlisted in the army after high school, not knowing what else to do. Then, during a furlough, he meets Savannah, the girl of his dreams. The attraction is mutual and quickly grows into the kind of love that leaves Savannah vowing to wait for John while he finishes his tour of duty. But neither can foresee that 9/11 is about to change the world. Like so many proud men and women, John must choose between love and country. Now, when he finally returns to North Carolina, John will discover that loving Savannah will force him to make the hardest decision of his life.

My favorite part of the entire book is a very important life lesson!!

Savannah and John are having a conversation:
She tells him, " My dad always said that when you're struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it's just as hard as what you're going through."

I enjoyed this book, and can't wait to see the movie!!
