In the tradition of his first novel, The Notebook, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nicholas Sparks returns with a story of two couples whose parallel love stories intersect in profound and surprising ways in his latest novel, The Longest Ride.

Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. The lives of two couples who have little in common, and who are separated by years and experience, will converge with unexpected poignancy, reminding us all that even the most difficult decisions can yield extraordinary journeys: beyond despair, beyond death, to the farthest reaches of the human heart.

All of Sparks’ books have been bestsellers, with over 89 million copies in print worldwide. Eight of his novels have been adapted into major motion pictures, including A Walk to Remember, Nights in Rodanthe, Dear John and, most recently, Safe Haven.
