Resumen del Editor

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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

“[Sparks] once again delivers an uplifting, heartfelt story emblematic of his literary trademarks: a North Carolina setting, strong romantic elements, and a surprise, bittersweet ending. . . . Sparks is a deeply sensitive and compassionate writer who skillfully unravels a complex, multi-generational story. Readers will be swept up in another emotionally resonant, adventurous journey that maps the peaks and valleys of human existence and how love, in its many forms, can miraculously heal loss and loneliness, grief and grave uncertainty. . . . Sparks’s compassionately drawn, multi-generational story brings together—and inspires hope in—three lost souls.”—Shelf Awareness

Excellent! stayed up all night till I finished it!

this book is a lot different from other Nicholas Sparks books. the book is about one man finding himself after loss of family and another one dealing with the loss of a family through a tragic accident many years before and how down the road there lined up intersecting. it was hard for me to put this audiobook down I stayed up all night finishing it it was so good I highly recommend this book

Nicholas Sparks is an amazing Storyteller. The way he tells a story is so beautiful.

The only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars is that this book as well as Dreamland were very predictable. But the story was still well done

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

One of Sparks best!

Loved every minute of this book. The connection of strength, loss, love and redemption. Sparks does it again! It’s a must read. You will not be disappointed.

So much more than a romance story!

So many threads make up the pattern to this quilt. With each side story forming a beautiful square that like my wife’s quilts, as each square is placed and sewn a most beautiful and all telling quilt is formed. I’m never surprised by any of the stories from Nicholas Sparks in as much as they are all so wonderful yet each one still blows me away on how human and realistic they are. This is another gem!💎

Poor voice of the narrator

The book had a good story line but the narrator did a bad job
Reading it to me. It would have been a five star. I love Nicholas Sparks books have read and listened to all of them. Will get the book and read it.

Love his books

I love the descriptions in the story of the NC locations! I love all of his books!

Like a screenplay edited down for a movie

I liked the story and the characters, but it all seemed a bit whittled down. You know, Nicholas Sparks us one of those writers that you wait a whole year for a new release and then, you realize that you’ve already turned the last page. I would have like to get to know Kaitlin & Tanner as well as I did Jasper. There wasn’t enough relationship development, before Tanner &Kaitlin exchanged those 3 little words. I would have given this book 4.5 stars, if the half star was an option. The book was better than 4 stars, but I couldn’t give it 5 stars.
