Hope Anderson is at a crossroads. At thirty-six, she's been dating her boyfriend, an orthopaedic surgeon, for six years. With no wedding plans in sight, and her father recently diagnosed with ALS, she decides to use a week at her family's cottage in Sunset Beach, North Carolina, to ready the house for sale and mull over some difficult decisions about her future.
Tru Walls has never visited North Carolina but is summoned to Sunset Beach by a letter from a man claiming to be his father. A safari guide, born and raised in Zimbabwe, Tru hopes to unravel some of the mysteries surrounding his mother's early life and recapture memories lost with her death. When the two strangers cross paths, their connection is as electric as it is unfathomable . . . but in the immersive days that follow, their feelings for each other will give way to choices that pit family duty against personal happiness in devastating ways.
Illuminating life's heartbreaking regrets and enduring hope, Every Breath explores the many facets of love that lay claim to our deepest loyalties -- and asks the question, How long can a dream survive?

MY REVIEW
Every time Nicholas Sparks announces that he has a new book coming out, I can hardly contain my excitement. I have loved each and every one of his books, including this one! Now, this one has a different feel to ones that I have read before. Nicholas Sparks himself has 'top and tailed' this story with a beginning and an ending. From what I understand this story, some elements are taken from real life and some are fictionalised for the story. I am not sure which is which but this is one hell of a beautiful story.
In this story, we follow the story of Hope and Tru. Hope staying at her parents cottage by the sea to sort out items that she wants to keep before her parents sell it. Tru having travelled all the way from Zimbabwe to visit the father he never met. The most beautiful part of this story is the story of Hope and True. How they meet, how they get on and watching the choices they make as they follow their life paths.
I can honestly say that Nicholas Sparks is the only author that never fails to make me cry reading a novel. Whether that be tears of sadness or happiness, I always feel emotional at some point during each and every story. This story is no different. I am not going to say whether it is happiness or sadness, as I don't want to spoil the story for you but let's just say it was a very emotional read and one that I very highly recommend.
