A Book Review By Josiah A. Jimeno
A Bend in the Road, Nicholas Sparks’ romance of healing and mystery, is a story of new beginnings. Nicholas Sparks’ books give readers the opportunity to see romance from a man’s perspective like the story of A Bend in the Road. Love and death are constant companions in Sparks' books, and this one is no exception. This story is about having to loose than you treasure the most, then, finding another person that gives you a quite unfathomable feeling of tickle inside. This story is about learning to mend broken hearts by learning love again.
Miles Ryan, deputy sheriff of New Bern, North Carolina, had married his high-school sweetheart, Missy, and was living a charmed life when tragedy struck. In 1986, Missy was killed by a car on an isolated road while she was out jogging, and the driver was never found. Two years later, Miles is still haunted by the lack of closure and only recently has shown signs of overcoming his grief. The only bright spot in his life is his seven-year-old son, Jonah, who is now having trouble in school. Then Miles meets Jonah's teacher, Sarah Andrews, and is drawn to her. A newcomer to town, she has moved to be near her family and to escape from a disastrous divorce. The two broken souls recognize each other's fragility as they work together to help Jonah. They embark on a serious relationship, which is sorely tested after Miles receives a tip about Missy's accident. In his determination to find the culprit, he throws his training out the door in his crazed his pursuit for justice. Anyone who disagrees with him or his methods is perceived as the enemy, including his boss and friend, and Sarah, who tries to be the voice of reason. The relationship between Miles and Sarah is threatened by a devastating secret. Sparks intends for readers to solve the mystery early on in the book. If you know the identity of the hit-and-run suspect, you can watch with amazement as the story unfolds. If you don't pick up on the clues, you'll be stunned when the answer is revealed. Either way, you'll be surprised at the climax.
The story is about learning to fix broken hearts through letting your heart be fixed by another. It is about going through something tragic and then learning to revive your being. It is also learning to find hope from the love of another, a hope that could fix a heart or sort a confused mind.
I really like how Miles acted whenever he is around with Sarah. He brings the true nature of men. And the factor that amazed is that it is both a love and mystery story. Once again, Sparks brings a powerful tale of true love to fruition, proving that love stories can be sweet without being cloying.
