When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina 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 terrifies her...a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. 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". With well over 50 million copies of his books in print, Nicholas Sparks is one of the world's most beloved storytellers. His novels include nine #1 New York Times bestsellers, and all his books, including "Three Weeks with My Brother," the memoir he wrote with his brother, Micah, have been New York Times and international bestsellers, and were translated into more than forty languages. Six of Nicholas Sparks' novels -- "The Last Song, Dear John, Nights in Rodanthe, Message in a Bottle, A Walk to Remember, and The Notebook" (soon to be joined by a seventh, "The Lucky One") -- were also adapted into major motion pictures. The author lives in North Carolina with his wife and family. Fiction Addiction is a local, woman-owned, independent bookstore established in 2001. The store carries a mixture of new and used fiction and nonfiction, including children's books, as well as gift items. We recently moved from E. North Street to 1020A Woodruff Road (across from Costco). (Image provided by Fiction Addiction.)
