This is the story about one man called Noah and a woman called Allie.
Miracles
Noah is sitting by a window in a nursing home.
He walks to her room and reads the same story to her everyday as a matter of routine.
Everytime he goes there and sits for just a second and stares at her, but she doesn't return the look. She doesn't understand who she is. He begins to read the notebook aloud in the hope that the miracle that has come to dominate his life will once again prevail.
Ghosts
It's back in early October in 1946, and Noah, a thirty-one-year-old, is sitting on the porch at home enjoying seeing the beautiful trees in North Carolina turn their autumnal colours. He bought his house right after the war ended. The house was built in 1772 and one of the oldest and largest homes in New Bern, North Carolina. He lives with his hound dog and
He looked at the book 'Leaves of Grass' by Walt Whitman which he'd carried with him throughout the war. It reminds him of New Bern and he was glad he'd come back here. Though he'd been amay for fourteen years, this was home and he knew a lot of people here. His best friend these days was Gus, a seventy-year-old black man. He'd come to regard Gus as family especially after his father died last year.
He had been in love only once with a girl fourteen years ago. And it had changed him forever. He felt his mind drifting back to a warm evening like this forteen years ago.
It was just after graduation 1932, the opening night of the Neuse River Festival. He arrived alone and found Fin and Sarah those who he'd grown up with talking to a girl he'd never seen before. It was Aliie. She came to New Bern to spend the summer with her family. She seemed good and perfect for him and also she was from a good and wealthy family.
Soon after they got to know each other and became inseparable.
