Many of Sparks' novels feature adults in their mid- thirties to late forties. In A Walk To Remember we follow the unlikely match up of two high schoolers who have known each other forever but never really connected. A touching story of young love and how even the youngest lives can be subject to death's ultimate sacrifice. Also made into a feature film starring Mandy Moore.

Similar premise as Message In A Bottle. This time the divorcee is tending to a bed and breakfast for an out of town friend. During her stay she encounters a hurricane and one guest. The story unfolds as she gets to know the guest. Also a major motion picture starring Diane Lane and Richard Gere.
