This romance novel in the classic Nicholas Sparks’ style covers everything from can you really fall in love in the first few moments of meeting someone; to how far would you go in the name of love.
Travis is a happy go lucky guy who loves to entertain and spend time with his friends even though they are married and have kids. Him being the only single one of the bunch never seems to bother him, he is just too busy enjoying life as it is. Travis is single with no worries, while he alone decides how to spend all his time and money.
Now, fast forward to a chance meeting with the new neighbor, Gabby; who happens to be totally infuriated with him, but unable to succinctly vocalize her frustrations. Travis is so taken by her that he continues finding ways for them to be together even after Gabby tells Travis she has a boyfriend. Her having a boyfriend does nothing to stop Travis’ desire to spend time with Gabby.
After rescuing Gabby as the damsel in distress and then spending a long, fun weekend together, reality sets in as they both realize they have fallen for each other. What will Gabby tell her boyfriend? What should she do? What choice should she make?
Love prevails as Travis convinces Gabby he’s the one meant for her to have and to hold and asks for her hand in marriage. They fully enjoy each other’s company and go on to have two wonderful daughters and eleven blissful years of marriage.
However, what happens next is enough to tear anyone’s heart apart. If you have ever faced making a decision that affects not only your life, but also the life of others, the life of your family you worked so hard to build, then you know what kind of heaviness I am talking about here.
Sometimes life’s pathways seem so opposite, that to make a decision one way or another means you will forever go off in another direction in your life and never be able to return to that juncture. Travis faced this exact same scenario. He had to make the choice to be true to his heart or go with Gabby’s wishes. It was a choice that no one, not even friends or family, were willing to offer their suggestions to help take the burden off Travis.
Travis alone had to make the decision. A question he asked himself repeatedly was “How far would you go in the name of love?” Travis finally makes his decision at the last minute after much heart wrenching thought.
You will have to download the audio book to get the details and find out what was so troubling for Travis and what choices he ultimately made. However, the next time someone says you always have a choice, I am sure your memory will return to this audio book and the fact that making life-changing choices is never easy. You never know what turn of events your choice might hold in the future.
