From the dark days of WWII to present-day North Carolina, this New York Times bestseller shares the lives of two couples overcoming destructive secrets -- and finding joy together.

Ira Levinson is in trouble. Ninety-one years old and stranded and injured after a car crash, he struggles to retain consciousness until a blurry image materializes beside him: his beloved wife Ruth, who passed away nine years ago. Urging him to hang on, she forces him to remain alert by recounting the stories of their lifetime together - how they met, the precious paintings they collected together, the dark days of WWII and its effect on them and their families. Ira knows that Ruth can't possibly be in the car with him, but he clings to her words and his memories, reliving the sorrows and everyday joys that defined their marriage.

A few miles away, at a local bull-riding event, a Wake Forest College senior's life is about to change. Recovering from a recent break-up, Sophia Danko meets a young cowboy named Luke, who bears little resemblance to the privileged frat boys she has encountered at school. Through Luke, Sophia is introduced to a world in which the stakes of survival and success, ruin and reward -- even life and death - loom large in everyday life. As she and Luke fall in love, Sophia finds herself imagining a future far removed from her plans -- a future that Luke has the power to rewrite . . . if the secret he's keeping doesn't destroy it first.

Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples who have little in common, and who are separated by years and experience. Yet their lives 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.

Najduže putovanje - Nikolas Sparks

Izuzetna priča o putovanju do najdaljih dometa ljudskog srca.

Ajra Levinson je u nevolji. Star devedeset jednu godinu, slabog zdravlja i sam na svetu, zatekao se na pustom nasipu posle saobraćajne nesreće. Teško povređen, bori se da ostane pri svesti dok mu se prikazuje magloviti lik – najednom pored sebe vidi svoju voljenu suprugu Rut, od čije je smrti proteklo devet godina. Ajra zna da Rut nikako ne može biti pored njega u kolima, ali se grčevito hvata za njene reči i svoje uspomene, i ponovo proživljava tuge i radosti koje su obeležile njihov brak.

Nekoliko kilometara dalje, dok prisustvuje rodeu, studentkinja Sofija Danko doživeće veliku promenu u životu. Oporavljajući se od nedavnog raskida s momkom, upoznaje mladog kauboja Luka, koji ima malo zajedničkog s povlašćenim mladićima kakve Sofija sreće u školi. Luk je uvodi u svet gde se na kocku stavlja mnogo: opstanak i uspeh, propast i priznanje – čak i život i smrt. Dok se između nje i Luka rađa ljubav, Sofija zamišlja budućnost veoma različitu od njenih dotadašnjih planova, budućnost koju Luk može da ostvari… ukoliko je najpre ne uništi njegova tajna.

Ajra i Rut. Sofija i Luk. Dva para koja imaju malo toga zajedničkog i koje razdvajaju godine i iskustvo. Njihovi životi će se ipak ispreplesti s neočekivanom žestinom podsećajući sve nas da nas čak i najteže odluke mogu povesti na neverovatna putovanja – dalje od beznađa, dalje od smrti, do najdaljih dometa ljudskog srca.
