* A Bend In The Road *
Nicholas Sparks’ A Bend In The Road
Miles had the perfect life and family…all until one evening when an arguement over something completely ridiculous broke out. A fight that would forever be regretted and drawn upon because this was the night his wife left this Earth as his wife and as a mother.
Miles, and his son, Jonah try to move on and remake their lives as a family of two, but Miles finds this most difficult to deal with.
One day, Miles is asked to have an urgent parent-teacher meeting, which he believed to be more than he could handle, but proved to be a life-changing beginning for both him and his son, because this was the day he met Sarah.
Miles’ life started to run smoothly again until he got a less-than-credible tip to who killed his wife on that allegid evening.
All the life and time he had repaired and created was tumbling all around him. In an attempt to solve the mystery, would Miles be able to grab ahold of the life he has left and be able to piece it back together?
