Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks



When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Caroline town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships; one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family.


But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifes her. With Jo's empathic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she must choose between a life of transient safety and one of riskier rewards and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true safe haven.


Nicholas Sparks has done it again, Safe Haven, is a well written book with several surprises along the way.
