Publisher Description

Part love story and part ghost story, this is an unforgettable New York Times bestseller about a science journalist and a North Carolina librarian who dare to believe in the impossible.

As a science journalist with a regular column in Scientific American, Jeremy Marsh specializes in debunking the supernatural-until he falls in love with the granddaughter of the town psychic.

When Jeremy receives a letter from Boone Creek, North Carolina, about ghostly lights appearing in a cemetery, he can't resist driving down to investigate. Here, in this tightly knit community, Lexie Darnell runs the town's library. Disappointed by past relationships, she is sure of one thing: her future is in Boone Creek, close to all the people she loves. From the moment Jeremy sets eyes on Lexie, he is intrigued. And Lexie, while hesitating to trust this outsider, finds herself thinking of him more than she cares to admit. Now, if they are to be together, Jeremy must do something he's never done before-take a giant leap of faith.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nicholas Sparks comes a love story about taking chances and following your heart. True Believer will make you believe in the miracle of love.

"I really enjoyed this book. It was a really great story about two people who lived in totally different worlds and fell in love. This story was really good but it started off slow and was drug out and wouldn't really get to the point. But I liked it and thought it was well written."

— Casey (4 out of 5 stars)

    " The first time I picked up this book, I couldn't get past the first few chapter, and even though I was able to get through the book this time, I struggled while reading the first three or four chapters. Once Jeremy Marsh - the main character - meets Lexie, I was hooked and knew that a love story was brewing. However, the brewing was taking longer than I had ever hoped for, especially in a book by Nicholas Sparks, who I believe is great at writing love stories - creating the passion along with the heartbreak in each of his stories. Of course he throws a second man into the love equation, and the triangle becomes frustrating. While I feel bad for this man's affection towards Lexie, I want to see Jeremy and Lexie together, especially after all they've been through together. I liked how this love was formed when Jeremy had the chance to go to Boone Creek to discover the mystery of the cemetery, however, I didn't like what he discovered. I was expecting there to be more mystery, and less foolishness. Sparks leaves you thinking that though Jeremy and Lexie told each other how they feel, it isn't enough to make their love stick, it isn't enough to make Jeremy stay. I loved the ending, but I honestly didn't enjoy the love story, nor the mystery of Boone Creek Cemetary. The book dragged on when it really only took place over a couple of days. I did however, have the sequel to the book already, so I began reading that soon after to figure out what happens to Jeremy and Lexie. "
