No. 1 New York Times bestseller Nicholas Sparks turns his unrivaled talents to a new tale about love found and loss, and the choices we hope we'll never have to make.

Travis Parker has everything a man could want: a god job; loyal friends; his dream home in small-town North Carolina. In full pursuit of the good life, he believes that a serious relationship with a woman would only cramp his style.

That is until Gabby Holland moves in next door. Despite Travis's attempts to be friendly, she seems to have a chip on her shoulder about him. But something compels Travis to get to know his new neighbor. His persistent efforts lead them both to make a tough decision, the consequences of which neither could have foreseen.

The Choice confronts us with the most heart-wrenching question of all: How far would you go to keep the hope of love alive?
