Adrienne Willis’ daughter is depressed because her husband dies suddenly. Adrienne  decides to tell her how she was able to handle losing her husband fifteen years earlier.

Forty-five year old Adrienne Willis explains that she  was a  sad, divorced lady. She says she was totally dejected when her husband, who was the father of her three children, left her for a younger woman. Nicholas Sparks uses “flashbacks” to tell her story.

Adrienne  goes to Rodanthe, North Carolina to take care of her friend’s inn. She meets a middle-aged doctor named Paul Flanner. He left his marriage and was distraught  over a  patient dying in his care.

Dr. Flanner  was the only guest at the inn because an awful storm was approaching the small coastal town. When the hurricane hits, Adrienne and Paul battle the storm together and start a romance. She tells how their love  affair helps  both of them restore their self-esteem and enjoy life again.

Sparks showed that love is a wonderful emotion. This book proved that LOVE isn’t only for young people.
