Meanwhile, Landon continues to learn about all the people and organizations Jamie spends her time helping, including an orphanage. A couple of days later, Eric mocks the couple during their walk home and Landon becomes truly embarrassed to be with Jamie. One day at rehearsal, Jamie asks if Landon will walk her home, after which it becomes routine. Landon knows that if his friends learn about his role in the play, he will be teased relentlessly.

Jamie, on the other hand, could not be happier about her new cast mate. While Landon is not very enthusiastic about participating, he agrees to it anyway. At the end of the night, he admits she was the best date possible.Ī few days later, Jamie asks Landon to participate in the school's production of The Christmas Angel. When Landon is threatened by Lew, Jamie comes to Landon's aid, to his appreciation.

While Jamie is very religious and carries a Bible with her wherever she goes, Landon (one of the popular students) is reluctant to go to the dance with someone like her. Since nobody else seems to be available, Landon reluctantly asks Jamie Sullivan, the daughter of Hegbert Sullivan, the Beaufort church minister, who accepts his invitation. That night, he looks through his yearbook, trying to find an acceptable date. He asks many girls, but none are available. As student body president, Landon is required to attend the school dance with a date. His best friend, Eric Hunter, who is the most popular boy in school, helps him and, to his surprise, Landon wins the election. Landon's father pressures him into running for class president.

Landon is more reclusive, which causes some tension in their relationship. His father is not around very much, as he lives in Washington, D.C. His father is a genial, charismatic congressman. Landon lives in the small, religious town of Beaufort, North Carolina.

The remainder of the story takes place when Landon is a 17-year-old high school senior. The story starts with a prologue from Landon Carter at age 57. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image. Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines.
