About the author
Nicholas Sparks is an American novelist and screenwriter whose books frequently place love stories against illness, separation, grief, faith, and coastal North Carolina settings.
The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, Dear John, and The Last Song have all been adapted for film. Remain, created with M. Night Shyamalan, adds a supernatural mystery to Sparks’s familiar concern with love after loss.
