520    "When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the 
       small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival
       raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-
       effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal
       ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant
       relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a
       kind heart and two young children; and another with her 
       plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations,
       Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down 
       roots in the close-knit community and becoming 
       increasingly attached to Alex and his family. But even as 
       Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark 
       secret that still haunts and terrifies her-- a past that 
       set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the 
       country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. With Jo's 
       empathic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes 
       that she must choose between a life of transient safety 
       and one of riskier rewards-- and that in the darkest hour,
       love is the only true safe haven"
