Publisher's summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From the acclaimed author of The Longest Ride and The Notebook comes an emotional, powerful novel about wondering if we can change—or even make our peace with—the path we’ve taken.

“Sparks is superb at what he does. The setting is postcard perfect. The characters are immensely likable. . . . This is a tidy miracle you can count on.”—The Washington Post

Tanner Hughes was raised by his grandparents, following in his grandfather’s military footsteps to become an Army Ranger. His whole life has been spent abroad, and he is the proverbial rolling stone: happiest when off on his next adventure, zero desire to settle down. But when his grandmother passes away, her last words to him are find where you belong. She also drops a bombshell, telling him the name of the father he never knew—and where to find him.

Tanner is due at his next posting soon, but his curiosity is piqued, and he sets out for Asheboro, North Carolina, to ask around. He’s been in town less than twenty-four hours when he meets Kaitlyn Cooper, a doctor and single mom. They both feel an immediate connection; Tanner knows Kaitlyn has a story to tell, and he wants to hear it. To Kaitlyn, Tanner is mysterious, exciting—and possibly leaving in just a few weeks.

Meanwhile, nearby, eighty-three-year-old Jasper lives alone in a cabin bordering a national forest. With only his old dog, Arlo, for company, he lives quietly, haunted by a tragic accident that took place decades before. When he hears rumors that a white deer has been spotted in the forest—a creature of legend that inspired his father and grandfather—he becomes obsessed with protecting the deer from poachers.

As these characters’ fates orbit closer together, none of them is expecting a miracle . . . but that may be exactly what is about to alter their futures forever.

Critic reviews

“Sparks is superb at what he does. The setting is postcard perfect. The characters are immensely likable. . . . This is a tidy miracle you can count on.”The Washington Post

“The romance between Tanner and the doctor sizzles, and Sparks is a master at creating fully developed, sympathetic characters with complete and compelling backstories. Readers will be drawn into this touching story of hope, faith, and love, and Spark’s many fans will find just what they’re looking for.”Booklist, starred review

“Bestseller Sparks brings all the emotion fans expect in his heart-tugging latest. . . . Sparks enriches Kaitlyn and Tanner’s love story with a striking supporting cast, especially Kaitlyn’s kids, Casey and Mitch, and an elderly neighbor named Jasper. The mystery of Tanner’s parentage finally unravels at the story’s end, delivering an emotionally satisfying finale. This is sure to be another hit for Sparks.”Publishers Weekly

Nicholas Sparks never disappoints

I loved this book so much. The characters slowly draw you into the story until you are so invested in their lives. You know it’s a great book when you are sad that it ends!

Struggles overcome

Best book by Nicholas Sparks!!!!! A lot of writers are afraid to bring God and the Bible into books, songs, etc. Mr. Sparks you have me back as a reader.

Great story

Loves the story line. It was easy to go between the two stories. I was not fond of the reader of this book. Was not my favorite voice for this story. I did get used to it after half the book. Great book

Beautiful story on so many levels.

Nicholas Sparks does it again. This is why he remains my favorite author. Beautiful heart wrenching authentically real story of love, loss, faith, resiliency, forgiveness, and finding happiness on the other side of unimaginable pain.

What a beautiful retelling of the story of Job. Well written, holding my attention for hours at a time.

I loved how the 3 main characters lives were separate in the beginning and bound together by love in the end. But this isn’t a romance novel, but of a deeper relationship that we all crave within.

Left you wanting a lot more

As always with this author, this was a beautiful story. I wanted more of this story. The main character was an amazing man, lived through horrific tragedy but had a wonderful ending.

Heartwarming Story

Another heartfelt Nicholas Sparks story with a wonderful romance woven into it.
I loved the characters, the small town setting, the respect for nature and the connections found in mankind.
