The story is touching, romantic and spellbinding. Teresa is a single mother, doing her best to raise her son, still stinging form the infidelities of her ex-husband. She has a promising career as a journalist and her days are filled with work, her friends and her son's activites. She isnt trying to find the love her her life,but perhaps it has found her. While jogging on a beach in Cape Cod, Teresa discovers..yes..a message in a bottle. She is so touched by the beautiful words of the sender( a true love letter),that she can't help but to try and locate him.(It helps being a journalist, and having lots of resources at your fingertips).Little did she know that finding the author of this beautiful letter would change her life forever.

"Message In A Bottle" by Nicholas Sparks is not only a beautiful story of real love, but one that is also a journey of self awareness, of opening up to the possiblities that life has to offer.It is one that you will probably need a hankie or two as well.

For those who love a good audio book for company on a long drive or around the house, I would recommend the reading by Kimberly Scharf. I felt like I was being told a story by an old friend. For details of the audio book(unabridged) see my review here:Message in a Bottle
Enjoy the read....Laurie
