Adult New Fiction Sparks
There is a new waitress at Ivan’s Restaurant and she has a secret. A big one.
When Katie arrives in Southport, North Carolina, she knows no one and no one knows her. She is there to start over, period. Despite her ever-present anxiety over the life she left behind, she finds herself falling in love with Alex, a local store owner and widowed father of two small children. Her next door neighbor, Jo, in whom she reluctantly confides her past, encourages the relationship. Katie’s past, however, holds her back as it rears its ugly head in her mind and eventually, her new life.
This story is darker than most of Sparks’ novels and gives us frightening insight into the mind of the antagonist that Katie so desperately fears. It is also a study in true courage. The way Sparks plays out the story is fascinating. It’s a great summer read.
