The story is a dedication to Sparks sister Danielle and her husband Bob relationship retold through the characters Jamie Sullivan and Landon Carter. Just like Bob and Danielle, never in a million years did Landon think he would ever deeply fall head-over-heels for Jamie. On a journey of self exploration, Landon finds himself through the pure angelic heart of Jamie discovering the true meanings of selflessness, devotion and love, which completely transforms him into a remarkable man. When he learns she has leukemia, Landon makes Jamie 's dream a reality and proposes marriage to her despite her sickness. Unfortunately, the woman who saves his life passes and all things beautiful and bright were buried with her, leaving Landon emotionally distraught. With similar circumstances to the character Landon Carter, Amie incorporates the lost of her father in an online review of “A Walk to Remember.” She writes ,“I found a special meaning in the novel after I lost my dad to a malignant brain tumor; I had to watch him die. He was my other half and all the good I have in me, came from him. (Amie 3). Tragedies experienced within his family are conveyed in a backdrop of a world tour that takes readers to some deep emotional places on a journey through loss. Sparks features poignant in “Three Weeks With my Brother”, which he and his brother, Micah, shared their own emotional responses to the loss of their parents and sister. Linking his experience of losing his brother in an online discussion of the book, Robert Crouse quotes, “This beautifully written travelogue changed my life priorities. When my brother passed, my life was never the same. We had such an endless bond and my loss filled me with sadness. This heart wrenching tale made me realize that time is of the essence and you should seize each day and savor every moment of it.”(Crouse
