But in this novel, One True Lovesby Taylor Jenkins Reid, it’s a story about what life is like for a woman who is told her husband is dead and then finds out several years later that he isn’t. In the movie, the focus is mostly on the Tom Hanks character. When he finally makes it off the island and is found by a passing ship, he goes home but his girlfriend (or fiance) had already married and had a baby. Did you ever see the movie Castaway with Tom Hanks? Remember how he’s in a plane crash and presumed dead for several years? But actually, he was on a deserted island all that time just trying to stay alive and figure out how to get himself rescued.
