Message In A Bottle

            I think the author was rather successful in creating a good piece of literature. He told a tale of two broken hearts who came together by a twist of fate and chance to share a love that everyone dreams about. It didn"t have a happy ending for it ended with another broken heart. He used words to illustrate vivid pictures creating images that will last forever and a day.
             The story was about a woman named Theresa. She was a single divorced woman working at a news paper with son to raise. She had given up on love until one day when she was on vacation she found a letter in a bottle that had washed up on shore. She became intrigued by the letter for it was beautifully written and expressed a love everyone wants but not many have the chance at. She felt the need to find the person who wrote the letter so with a little luck and hard work she found the man who wrote it. His name was Jeb. She decided to take another trip to where Jeb lived. She wasn't sure why but she wanted to meet him. During all of this Nicholas Sparks gives you an in depth look at Theresa that even though she's a grown woman she still has the little girl inside who wants to love but is afraid to. Jeb feels compelled by Theresa and can't understand what he's feeling for her. He deals with feelings of guilt because he had lost his wife and thought he was betraying her memory by being with Theresa. They fell in love with each other. At the end of the book Jeb finally realizes that a love like that to come around once is rare but for it to come around twice is a miracle. He writes one more letter to his dead wife. That may sound morbid to some but the letters were a way for him to cope with his feelings and he"d cast them out into the sea in a bottle. The final letter told his dead wife, Catherine, that he loved her but he found a new love and was ready to let go and be happy. The night Jeb went to throw the bottle into the ocean there was a storm.
