Fresh Fiction Review

Counting Miracles

COUNTING MIRACLES absolutely shredded my heart! Nicholas Sparks speaks to my heart with each and every novel he has written and COUNTING MIRACLES is no exception. What a beautiful story of second chances, love, guilt, family and fate. Nicholas Sparks owes me a box of tissues!! COUNTING MIRACLES is wonderful and is everything I fell in love with about his writing since my very first book. I found myself with tears streaming down my face while reading one scene and a big smile on my face during other scenes. I like books that can make me feel something while reading them and this one certainly did. I loved the storyline of the white deer and what it meant to Jasper as well.
 
COUNTING MIRACLES is the story of a man whose dying grandmother has finally revealed his biological dad’s name. Tanner goes on a search to find his father. On his trip, he finds love, family, and stability that he has never had before. Now that I’m finished reading COUNTING MIRACLES I want to read it all over again!! It is a beautiful and emotional love story of past and present. It’s one of those books that will stick with you after reading it. I’m sure it’s one I won’t be forgetting any time soon.
 
COUNTING MIRACLES will surely pull at your heartstrings and make it very hard to put down. If you are like me, you won’t be able to stop until you know what happens to Tanner, Kaitlyn, Jasper, Arlo, Casey, and Mitch. What would you do if God finally brought you your soulmate and then took her away? Poor Jasper, he has endured so much in life. Make yourself a cup of coffee or tea get your favorite blanket and get on the couch.
 
COUNTING MIRACLES is an awesome way to spend the afternoon or evening. Once you start reading, you won’t be able to put it down and will find yourself cheering for Tanner as he tries to navigate through a very different and unique situation. Nicholas Sparks will pull you in from the very first page and never let you go! How a man can write such emotional and heart-tugging contemporary romance is beyond me, but I have loved all of his books and he is forever one of my auto-buy authors!

SUMMARY

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.

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.
