A Walk to Remember is account of a man in his fifties remembering his first love.He's a high schooler as his story opens. An average student, he likes to hang out with his friends.
Jamie Sullivan is the Baptist minsiter's daughter, a young woman who isn't popular with the other students. To them, she seems so serious, and is always walking around with her Bible.
Jamie runs for student council president, and he wins. One of his duties as student council president is to help decorate for the school dance, clean up afterward, and attend. He needs a date. He starts calling all the girls he knows, and soon finds that everyone already has a date to the dance. He calls Jamie Sullivan and she agrees.
This sets in motion a series of events that make up the novel.
It's a wonderfully easy and quick read. It's well written and very entertaining. It is very sentimental, and the characterization is not as sharply drawn as that in The Secret Place. The publication date on my book was 1999, so this isn't a new book.
