Noah, an old man with a faded, well-worn notebook full of his life stories, he had a simple
life but still more than any man could ask for. He met the love of his life at a festival and
from that moment on he knew he would spent the rest of his life with her, Allie nelson
now an old woman with Alzheimer’s in a nursing home. Allie’s condition gets worse every
day until one day he begins to read to her. Their own story.
It begins the summer of 1932, at the festival. It was their own summer of love
until Allie’s parents found out. Allies father was a wealthy man with an important position in
society and Noah was just a man that worked hard to earn his money. Allies parents thought
the relationship was a waste of time so they decided to go back to New York. Noah was
unable to keep her in New Bern and after 2 years of writing her he went up north to work at
a metal scrap yard. When world war 2 began he went in the military for a few years.
