Miles Ryan's life seemed to end the day his wife was killed in a hit-and-run accident two years ago. As deputy sheriff of New Bern, North Carolina, he not only grieves for her and worries about their young son Jonah but longs to bring the unknown driver to justice. Then Miles meets Sarah Andrews, Jonah's second-grade teacher. A young woman recovering from a difficult divorce, Sarah moved to New Bern hoping to start over. Tentatively, Miles and Sarah reach out to each other...soon they are falling in love. But what neither realizes is that they are also bound together by a shocking secret, one that will force them to reexamine everything they believe in-including their love.

Miles was totally out of control the whole time, no self restraint and a selfish and dangerous jerk. So disappointed this was portrayed as normal and acceptable.
Sparks NEVER disappoints

We’ll written with inserts from outside. Policeman struggles with a death and an unsolved crime. Does he really want the truth? When he finds out what is he to do? He s has a son to shelter maybe even from the truth. A Bend in the Road is a great book and a nice love story that endures.

I hated to read growing up, and then 10 years ago I discovered this book by Nicholas Sparks and fell in love. I checked this book out in my school library in middle school and decided from there on out that all it takes is finding the kind of book you like to get hooked. Here I am years later and I have read every single book by him, and have branched out and read many others by various authors. This book truly changed my perspective on reading and I have recently read it again for the third time and get the same warm feeling from the first time I discovered it.
Great Story

I could not put this book down from the moment I began reading it.

The characters become real and their joys and problems make them come alive.

I flew through the book and can’t wait to get started on another of his riveting stories!
