When confronted by raging fires or deadly accidents, volunteer fireman Taylor McAden feels compelled to take terrifying risks to save lives. But there is one leap of faith Taylor can't bring himself to make: He can't fall in love.

Then, one day, a raging, record-breaking storm hits his small Southern town. Denise Holton, a young single mother, is driving through it when her car skids off the road. With her is her four-year-old son, Kyle. Unconscious and bleeding, she - not Kyle - is found. And when she wakes, the chilling truth becomes clear to both of them: Kyle is gone.

During the search for Kyle, the connection, the lifeline, between Taylor and Denise takes root. Taylor doesn't know that this rescue will lead him to the possibility of his own rescue from a life lived without love. That it will dare him to live life to the fullest by daring to love.

I loved the narrator, he was wonderful. I still keep hearing "he's driving" and "muni!" as the narrator's impression of Kyle. Another great Nicholas Spark's novel but what this really special was the narrator. He's excellent.

One amazing narrator.

Awesome storyline. I love the fact that Nicholas does not mind expressing that with love there can also be pain. He always has a way to tug at your heartstrings.... Best author Ever!

Typical Sparks story - simple plot line, but sweet. However, the narrator has to go. Worst Sparks narration I've ever heard.

Good story, poor naration

I fell in love with this book back in 2003 in highschool. I needed a book for a book report, and just grabbed it randomly. I read it in a week. I've read multiple times since then, it still remains my favorite book, just as Sparks remains my favorite author. it's a bit difficult getting lost in a book while being a stay at home mother to a 4 year old (who resembles behavior to Kyle in this story) so having one ear phone in while doing housework makes it easier. this story is amazing, and has a very happy ending.

great book
