I just finished reading the book A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks. This book is about a sheriff named Miles Ryan who lives in New Bern, North Carolina who lost his wife in a hit-and-run accident two years earlier. He meets Sarah Andrews, his young son Jonah's school teacher, and slowly but surely starts falling in love with her. But neither of them know that they are connected by a shocking secret about the accident that will change their lives.
        My favorite charecter is Sarah because she is kind and always there to help people when they are in need, like Jonah when he is falling behind in class. Themes I think the author wants us to think about are forgivness and faith. Miles and Sarah both had times when they were forced to forgive each other and other people who hurt them no matter how hard it was and still keep faith in their love. I really recommend this book to anyone who likes romance or mystery novels.
