Allie has come to New Bern under the guise of going antiquing. Allie has recently read a newspaper article about Noah’s renovated house and, in the weeks since, has been unable to think of anything else-even though her wedding to Lon is just weeks away. The following morning, Allie arrives in New Bern from Raleigh to visit Noah-and to tell him about her engagement to the wealthy lawyer Lon Hammond, Jr. Though Noah wrote Allie many letters, she never answered them, and he has not heard from her or seen her since.
