The Last Song

Veronica “Ronnie” Miller’s life was turned upside down when her parents divorced and her father moved to Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains alienated from her parents, particularly her father, until her mother decides it would be everyone’s best interest if she and her brother spent the summer with him. Resentful and rebellious, Ronnie rejects her father’s attempts to reach out to her and threatens to return to New York before the summer’s end. But soon Ronnie meets Will, the last person she thought she’d ever be attracted to, and finds herself falling for him, opening herself up to the greatest happiness – and pain – that she has ever known. Ronnie finds out that her father has stomach cancer. She and her brother, Jonah, finish the window that they started with their father for the church. Her brother, Jonah, goes back to New York with their mother, but Ronnie stays back with her father until his death. She completes the song on the piano that he began to write and plays it for her audition at Juilliard. She and Will part after the funeral and she believes that they will never meet properly again, she thought it was over, but after Christmas, he transfers and goes to college in New York so he can spend more time with Ronnie.
