The other story is the budding romance of Luke, a North Carolina rancher and champion bull rider, and Sophia, a Wake Forest art history student who was raised by immigrant parents in New Jersey. THE LONGEST RIDE. By Nicholas Sparks.
Sophia is one of the prison's hair stylists, and the one preferred by most of the inmate characters. She works on the barter system, as do most things in the prison run by inmates. Sophia is trying to reach peace with her previous choices and relationships with her family.
