"The Longest Ride" by Nicholas Sparks tells a remarkable story of two couples, one old and one young whose lives intersect in surprising ways.Ira Levinson, 90 years old, slides off the road becoming injured and barely conscious. His wife, Ruth, who died several years ago, returns to him in blurry images trying to keep him alert until he can become rescued. They reminisce over the beautiful paintings of now famous artists they collected over the years. Luke, the young sexy, good looking competitive bull rider who works on his mother's small ranch, meets a beautiful college student, Sophia Danko, studying art history, at a cowboy style barn dance. The story winds through their struggles of staying together since they have very little in common. Their relationship slowly develops into a very special romance.
This romantic story is described with an old-fashioned tenderness and devotion. Ira and Ruth, Sophia and Luke have little in common but their lives all intertwine in an extraordinary journal.
