| A
Walk To Remember: Each spring in the little port town of Beaufort,
NC, when the wind smells of pine and salt and the sea, Landon Carter remembers
his senior year at Beaufort High and Jamie Sullivan, the girl who changed
his life... Serious and conservative, Jamie is the daughter of the town's
Baptist minister and not afraid of letting people know that her faith is
the most important part of her life. After a harmless prank goes terribly
wrong, Landon is forced to tutor a young student at a poor school and participate
in the Drama Club's spring play - two activities the principal hopes will
teach him some humility. They also happen to throw him into close contact
with Jamie. Clearly in over his head, Landon is forced to ask her for help.
Soon, against his own expectations, Landon finds himself falling in love
with this outwardly plain girl who possesses a passion for life he never
imagined possible. ~ Released as a movie by Warner Brothers, January 25,

The mission of this not-for-profit website is to promote clear insights
and toleration regarding the many variations of primary relationships that
exist in our world. We ask for neither acceptance or approval but
hope that each visitor who reviews the pages of this site will leave them
with a better understanding of the numerous cultural, historical, preferential,
religious, sexual, and sociological approaches to coupling that have always
existed and will continue to exist as long as there are at least two human
beings living on this planet. If the effort put into creating and
maintaining this site results in others coming to the realization that
the basic human need to love and be loved takes on many forms which are
accepted by those who practice them, whether right or wrong as determined
by the personal belief system of others, then it will have served it's
purpose well. |
