The Vibe

Landon Carter is the popular bad boy. Jamie Sullivan is the preacher's quiet daughter. When they're forced together for the school play, Landon discovers that Jamie has a secret — one that will change everything he thinks he knows about love and faith. Sparks' most devastating novel, and the one that defined an era.
