About this item

The epic #1 New York Times bestselling love story that spans decades and continents as two people at a crossroads—one from North Carolina and one from Zimbabwe—experience the transcendence and heartbreak of true love. Hope Anderson has some important choices to make. At thirty-six, she’s been dating her boyfriend, an orthopedic surgeon, for six years. Tru Walls has never visited North Carolina but is summoned to Sunset Beach by a letter from a man claiming to be his father. A safari guide, born and raised in Zimbabwe, Tru hopes to unravel some of the mysteries surrounding his mother’s early life and recapture memories lost with her death. When the two strangers cross paths, their connection is as electric as it is unfathomable ... but in the immersive days that follow, their feelings for each other will give way to choices that pit family duty against personal happiness in devastating ways. Illuminating heartbreaking regrets and enduring hope, Every Breath explores the many facets of love that lay claim to our deepest loyalties while asking a life-changing question: How long can a dream survive? “[A] thoughtfully researched and spellbinding story of love that defies time, a tale both heartbreaking and heartwarming.” ― Booklist “What makes Every Breath rise above ... is its unpredictability and strong character development.”― USA Today - Nicholas Sparks
