In the tradition of 'The Bridges Of Madison County' comes a tender and moving reminder that love often comes when we least expect it . . . Adrienne Willis must rethink her entire life when her husband abandons her for a younger woman, leaving her to raise their teenage children and care for her sick father alone. Reeling with heartache and in search of a respite, she flees to the small coastal village of Rodanthe, North Carolina, to tend to a friend's inn for the weekend. But as a major storm starts brewing, it appears that Adrienne's perfect getaway will be ruined - until an unexpected guest named Paul Flanner arrives. Paul has also come to Rodanthe to escape his own shattered past. Now, with a fierce nor'easter closing in, two wounded people will turn to each other for comfort - and in one weekend set in motion feelings that will resonate throughout the rest of their lives.
