About this book
When an Army Ranger returns to a small North Carolina town to search for the father he never knew, he finds himself unexpectedly drawn to a brilliant single-mom doctor and a second chance at belonging he never saw coming. As Tanner settles into this unfamiliar terrain of roots and real connection, his story intersects with that of a reclusive elderly man living in the nearby forest, each carrying their own quiet heartaches and searching for redemption in the most unexpected ways. This is classic Sparks—a tender exploration of how sometimes the life we're meant to live isn't the one we planned, and how the smallest moments can shift everything. Prepare yourself for a deeply moving tale about finding where you belong, even when you've spent your whole life running.

“Create a playlist called Counting Miracles. Soft acoustic folk and indie ballads about healing, second chances, and quiet belonging. Think gentle acoustic guitar, heartfelt vocals, and warm Americana—the feeling of coming home after a long journey. Pair with artists like Iron & Wine, Bon Iver, and The Lumineers.”
