The return : a novel / Nicholas Sparks

Includes an excerpt from The notebook.

"Trevor Benson never intended to move back to New Bern, North Carolina. But when a mortar blast outside the hospital where he worked in Afghanistan sent him home with devastating injuries, the cabin he inherited from his grandfather seemed as good a place to regroup as any. Tending to his grandfather's beloved beehives, Trevor isn't prepared to fall in love with deputy sheriff Natalie Masterson, who--despite reciprocating his feelings--remains frustratingly distant, making Trevor wonder what she's hiding. Further complicating his stay is the presence of a sullen teenage girl, Callie, who Trevor hopes she can shed light on the mysterious circumstances surrounding his grandfather's death. Callie offers few clues--until a crisis triggers a race to uncover the true nature of her past. In his quest to unravel both women's secrets, Trevor will learn that in life, in order to move forward, we must often return to the place where it all began." --Back cover
