Jeremy Marsh is a young New Yorker and part of the media elite. An expert in debunking the supernatural with a regualr column in a Scientific magazing, he's just made his first appearance on national TV. When he receives a letter from the small town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, about ghostly lights that appear in a legend-shrouded cemetery, he can not resist driving down to investigate. Here, in this tightly knit community, Lexie Darnell runs the town's library, just as her mother did before the accident that left Lexie an orphan. Lexie has been hurt by past relationships but believes her life is here in Boone Creek with her grandmother and all the other friends she loves. Jeremy expects to spend a quick week in the small community before speeding back to the city. Lexie and Jeremy meet and fall in love in this small community. Now, if they are to be together, Jeremy Marsh must make a difficult choice: return to the life he knows, or do something he has never done before--take a giant leap of faith.
This is a novel for older high school students such as 11th or 12th graders or for adults and I really enjoyed reading it. I think Nicholas Sparks is a wonderful author. I have read and enjoyed several of his other books including "Dear John", "The Notebook", and "Message in a Bottle". He writes in great detail with unbelievabley realistic characters. This story, "True Believer" is about taking chances and following your heart. It is a story of hope and faith in people.
