I have yet to grab a book by this author that I did not like. This story is a bit different than her other books. It takes a bit, but slowly you are drawn into the two love stories unfolding in the book. Before you know it, you are hooked!This story revolves around two stories, one, of a book written by an unknown author, Nick Roberts, and two, a tale of 4 friends on an adventure to find the author and land the biggest story of their lives. The story by the elusive Nick Roberts, is a lost love story about a WWII crippled vet and the love of his life, a young Jewish girl. Her father forbids their pairing and buys off the man, Bill. He figures he will use the money to start their lives together but before she knows whats going on, she runs away to the city. The tragic tale of their love gone wrong will tear at your heart, leaving you raw and saddened. It is told in bits as the main story unfolds.The main story revolves around four friends, Russ, Steve. Michael and Jim. Every year they go do something crazy, and this year, they want to find the author of the most popular book ever. Nick Roberts does not do interviews, book signings or late night TV. No one knows who he is. Russ unearths some information and an address, so they head out to find him. Once in the town, they get a real estate lady to show them around, but come up empty. Steve decides to go hike out towards the address they found, and ends up trapped by rain at Diane's house, the address they found. He is stuck there for a few days, and finds himself falling in love. How will he figure out who Nick Roberts is? And if he does, will he tell anyone? This emotionally charged read will leave you believing in fate, and short on kleenex. But oh what a ride!
