I have always wanted to read a Nicholas Sparks novel, unfortunately, it was seemed too expensive for me,because, there were a lot of important things that I should spend my money, so I didn't bother to buy it.Fortunately, I was lucky enough to come across this novel "The Guardian" in a booksale. And I tell you, usually they didn't really have books like this on a booksale. Desperately I hid it in the bookshelf and I promised my self that I would buy it the other day. When I came back, it was still there, and I was really happy that i hid it.
Findrs keepers...I told myself.
It was a amazing,heartwarming novel. It made me cry, that was unusual because, I never really cry on a novel,but this one changed everything.
Julie Barenson, was only 25 years old when Jim Barenson, her husband, had died because of a brain tumor. On Christmas Eve, Julie got a gift from somebody she didn't know. When she read the letter inside it, she learned that it was Jim, who sent her the gift. What was the gift Jim gave her? A Great Dane puppy. In Jim's letter, he said that he gave it to her so that she would have a companion and he promised that from wherever he was, he would always be watching her to keep her safe. She named the dog Singer.
After four years, Julie has finally moved on with her life, she was dating again. And Singer, was very protective at Julie, he would bark all the men Julie dated, except for one, Mike, Jim's bestfriend and who also has feelings for Julie. Julie would talk to Singer over things like he was a human being. And in a starnge way she knew that singer understood her.
And then Julie met Richard Franklin, a sophisticated engineer who treats her like a queen. Mike, thought that all hope was gone when he saw Julie and Richard kissed. But, Julie felt that there was no chemistry between her and Richard and decided to end it. Julie, finally got the nerve to ask Mike out after years of thinking that she might betray Jim in a way because she would go out with his bestfriend.
Julie thought that, Richard wouldn't bother her anymore, but she was wrong. Richard was stalking her. Richard Franklin, was a dangerous man, who would kill a person if thats the only way to get his way. Julie knew this and so did Mike and Singer.
After what happened to Julie's officemate Andrea ( who Richard almost killed), Julie decided to go out of town, until the investigation was finished. But even if she was in hiding with Mike, Singer and Pete ( a policeman) she knew that Richard would still find her.
She was right, Richard did find her and he waited for the right time to take her. But first, he would take care of Singer, because, he knew that there was something strange about Singer. He was able to poison Singer with a hamburger he put on a porch, this he knew would cause commotion and he would have the chance to go to the house.
He did it succesfully, he poisoned Singer, knock out Pete and shoot Mike. Julie was running for her life. She was the only one left. And Richard had here, and when Julie thought all hope was gone, out of sight, Singer came and jumped at Richard and bit him. But, Richard had a gun and shot Singer, just in time Jessica ( the detective) came and shoot Richard. Julie wept for Singer. Singer died, but it was miracle the veterinarion said to Julie that Singer was able to run and attack Richard even if he was poisoned because dogs would have died right away.
And so, they buried Singer in Julie's backyard. 2 months after the incident, Mike and Julie stayed together.Julie dreamt about Jim and Singer, they were walking way form her. She yelled at them and ran, but she didn't get near them. Jim looked at Julie and Singer barked at her and walked again. Julie woke up and took the letter of Jim tand read it. She realized that Jim kept his promise that he would always look out for her to keep her safe. And Singer was ot only her companion but also her Guardian.
