This is a typical book by Sparks - enjoyable to read and a happy ending - at least for most of the characters! It's the story of Logan Thibault who was a Marine He served three tours in Iraq. While there he found a picture of a young woman taken at a fair. He pinned it on the bulletin board knowing someone would claim it. When that didn't happen he put it in his pocket.

Using clues from the photo, he decides that he needs to go to North Carolina. He walks - yeah, he walks! That obviously takes him a while! He gets there and meets the woman. You will have to read the book to find out who lost the picture and if there is such a thing as a lucky charm!
