The Big Sandy Mountaineer -

This week Stephanie chose “SEE ME” by Nicholas Sparks.

Colin Hancock is giving his second chance his best shot. With a history of violence and bad decisions behind him and the threat of prison dogging his every step, he is determined to walk a straight line. The last thing he is looking for is a serious relationship.

Maria Sanchez, the hardworking daughter of Mexican immigrants, is the picture of conventional success. With a degree from Duke Law School and a job at a prestigious firm in Washington, she has a seemingly flawless professional track record. Yet, Maria has a traumatic history of her own.

A chance encounter on a rainswept road will alter the course of both Colin’s and Maria’s lives. As love unexpectedly takes hold between them they dare to envision what a future together could possibly look like--until menacing reminders of event’s in Maria’s past begin to surface. Rich in emotion and fueled with suspense, “SEE ME” reminds us that love is sometimes forged in the crises that threaten to shatter us, and that those who see us for who we truly are may not always be the ones easiest to recognize.

“SEE ME” is available now at the Jeff Reichelt Memorial Library.
