I'm reading the book "The Best of Me" by Nicholas Sparks. In this book it is about a high school couple that ends up falling in love. Dawson was used to living by himself in New Orleans but never visited the city. He stayed by himself and had no family. His mom and dad were no longer his care takers and he had no interest in reuniting with his other family members. He had to leave his house and visit oriental. He planned on this being a quick trip and not staying longer than needed. The setting of this book is in New Orleans. He was encountered in a explosion and was having post traumatic stress reaction. Things in his life were a little crazy at the time and would only get crazier until he fell in love.
