The Longest Ride, by Nicholas Sparks:
Ninety-one-year-old Ira Levinson sits slumped in his car in a snowdrift, unable to move. His wife, dead nine years now, sits beside him, keeping him alive with old memories. Young North Carolina rancher Luke Collins meets Wake Forest senior Sophia Danko after Luke has just won a bull-riding event. Not until after they’ve fallen in love does Sophia learn that Luke’s only possibility for saving the family ranch may cause his death. In mainstream love story THE LONGEST RIDE, the couple save Ira and his legacy saves their future, but only because they all understand the importance of love.
