He cried when he wrote the book...
Nicholas Sparks created the cult novel 'A Walk to Remember', inspired by the difficult fate of his younger sister. 'Like Jamie, my sister was sweet. Like Jamie, my sister believed fiercely. Like Jamie, my sister was not popular at school. Like Jamie, my sister was always cheerful. Like Jamie, more than anything in the world, my sister wanted to get married. And like Jamie, my sister got cancer...' - said the writer.
The tragic story of the incredible love of a priest's daughter and a school handsome man amazed fans of melodramatic cinema in 2002, when Adam Shankman released the heartbreaking film of the same name with Shane West and Mandy Moore in the lead roles.
