The Longest Ride

Two couples, two love stories unfold within one sweeping narrative. At 91, Ira Levinson is facing a critical moment. After a car accident, he struggles to remain conscious. In his fading mind, he conjures the image of Ruth, his cherished wife who passed away long ago. Her spirit encourages him to hold on as she reminisces about their shared joys and challenges, from their meeting to the hardships endured during WWII and the impact on their loved ones.

Meanwhile, not far off, college student Sophia Danko is on the brink of transformation. Heartbroken from a recent relationship, she encounters Luke, a rugged young man who introduces her to a life far different from her sheltered academic environment. As Sophia imagines a promising new path with Luke, there's a secret lurking that could shatter her dreams.

These parallel narratives, one of Ira and Ruth, the other of Sophia and Luke, separated by age and experiences, are destined to intersect in ways neither could anticipate. Crafted by Nicholas Sparks, the acclaimed author of bestsellers such as The Notebook, The Lucky One, and The Best of Me, this story captivates readers with its unexpected twists and deep emotional resonance.
