The Longest Ride

Más información sobre el libro

From the dark days of WWII to present-day North Carolina, this New York Times bestseller shares the lives of two couples overcoming destructive secrets and finding joy together. Ninety-one-year-old Ira Levinson is stranded and injured after a car crash, struggling to retain consciousness. A blurry image of his beloved wife Ruth, who passed away nine years ago, appears beside him. Urging him to hang on, she recounts their lifetime together—how they met, the paintings they collected, and the impact of WWII on their lives. Though Ira knows Ruth can't be there, he clings to her words and memories, reliving the sorrows and joys of their marriage. Meanwhile, at a local bull-riding event, Wake Forest College senior Sophia Danko is recovering from a breakup when she meets cowboy Luke, who is unlike the privileged frat boys she knows. Through Luke, Sophia is introduced to a world where survival and success are paramount. As they fall in love, she begins to envision a future far from her plans, one that Luke could alter—if the secret he’s keeping doesn’t destroy it first. Ira and Ruth, Sophia and Luke: two couples separated by years and experience, whose lives converge in unexpected ways, reminding us that even the most difficult decisions can lead to extraordinary journeys of the heart.
