The day the brochure
came was a typical one. With a wife and five small children, a hectic
schedule, and a new book due to his publishers, Nicholas Sparks was busy
with his usual routine.
The colorful mailer, however, described
something very different: a tour to some of the most exotic places on
Earth. Slowly, an idea took hold in Nicholas's mind and heart. In
January 2003, Nicholas Sparks and his brother, Micah, set off on a
three-week trip around the globe. It was to mark a milestone in their
lives, for at thirty-seven and thirty-eight respectively, they were now
the only surviving members of their family.
And as they voyaged to the
lost city of Machu Picchu high in the Andes. . . to mysterious Easter
Island. . . to Ayers Rock in the Australian outback. . . and across the
vast Indian subcontinent, the ultimate story of their lives would
unfold. Against the backdrop of the wonders of the world and often
overtaken by their feelings, daredevil Micah and the more serious,
introspective Nicholas recalled their rambunctious childhood adventures
and the tragedies that tested their faith.
And in the process, they
discovered startling truths about loss, love and hope. Narrated with
irrepressible humor and rare candor, and including personal photographs,
Three Weeks with my Brother reminds us to embrace life with all its
uncertainties. . . and most of all, to cherish the joyful times, both
small and momentous, and the wonderful people who make them possible.
