Counting Miracles is a #1 New York Times bestselling novel by Nicholas Sparks, published by Random House. A deeply moving story of faith, love, and the search for belonging, the novel follows two interwoven narratives set in a small North Carolina town.

Tanner Hughes, a decorated Army Ranger who was raised by his grandparents, has never known his father. When his grandmother passes away, her final words send him on a journey to a small Southern town to find the father he never knew. There he meets Kaitlyn Cooper, a local doctor and single mother, and the two feel an undeniable connection. Running parallel to their story is that of eighty-three-year-old Jasper, a solitary man living on the edge of a national forest who becomes consumed with protecting a rare white deer — a creature the local community believes may be miraculous — from poachers.

As Tanner and Kaitlyn navigate unexpected feelings and confront questions about fate and family, both storylines converge around themes of wonder, second chances, and the possibility that some events in life defy rational explanation. Rich with the emotional depth and romantic storytelling that has made Sparks one of the bestselling novelists of all time, Counting Miracles is a heartfelt exploration of whether people can truly change the path they have chosen.
