First published 2003
Wilson Lewis stares at a painful reality after three decades of marriage. His wife Jane no longer loves him. He spent years prioritizing his career over family, leaving Jane to raise their children alone while he worked late at the office. Now their daughter prepares for her wedding, and Jane considers leaving him entirely. Wilson knows the fault lies with him. He never learned to voice his emotions or show Jane how much she means to him. His love for her has only deepened with time, but she cannot see it. Wilson draws inspiration from Jane's parents, Noah and Allie Calhoun, whose fifty-year romance proves that true love can endure. Their story, told in The Notebook, becomes his roadmap. Wilson commits to an ambitious plan: he will make Jane fall in love with him again. He must find ways to express feelings he has kept buried and prove that their marriage deserves a second chance.
