Sparks has written another winner that would make a great romantic movie in The Lucky One. Elizabeth is a young single mother taking care of her usually independent grandmother who is recovering from a stroke, their kennel and dog training business, and her ten year old son who prefers reading and the violin over sports, much to the disappointment of his father. Until Thibault comes to town and applies for the job in the kennel, she was thinking she would have to quit her teaching job to take care of the business. Thibault is thrilled to take the job since he walked from Colorado to Hampton, NC, just to find Elizabeth although he had no idea what her name was at the time. He had found her picture in the desert sand in Iraq, posted it, and when no one claimed it, decided to keep it on a whim. Suddenly he was very lucky in cards and in his encounters with the enemy. A Marine buddy, who also died shortly after while once again Thibault was barely scathed, convinced him to find the girl in the picture because he felt it was Thibault's destiny. Naturally there are complications like the jealous ex-husband, flooding, and misunderstandings. This was a very good book that will appeal to Nicholas Sparks fans and anyone else who likes romance.
