The Last Song tells the story of seventeen-year-old Veronica "Ronnie" Miller, a troubled young girl spending the summer with her estranged father Steve in North Carolina. While there, Ronnie meets Will Blakelee, a boy whose privileged lifestyle has been much different than Ronnie's own. As the two fall in love, Ronnie also finds herself reconciling with her father, but everything becomes complicated when Steve is diagnosed with stomach cancer. As both a romance and a coming-of-age tale, the novel illustrates how the power of love can change your life.
