First sentence: Prologue: Staring out the bedroom window, Ronnie wondered whether Pastor Harris was already at the church.   Chapter One: Ronnie slouched in the front seat of the car, wondering why on earth her mom and dad hated her so much.
Description: Seventeen-year-old Veronica "Ronnie" Miller's life was turned upside down when her parents divorced and her father moved to Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina.  Three years later, she remains alienated from her parents, paritcularly her father.. until her mother decides it would be in everyone's best interest if she and her brother spent the summer with him.  Resentful and rebellious, Ronnie rejects her father's attempts to reach out to her and threatens to return to New York before the summer's end.  But soon Ronnie meets Will, the last person she thought she'd ever be attracted to, and finds herself falling for him, opening herself up to the greatest happiness and pain that she has ever known.
Notes: An unforgettable story of love in all its myriad forms -- first love, love between parents and children -- THE LAST SONG demostrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that love and break our hearts . . . and heal them.
