Family, connection, finding your home, faith, and a white deer….
Tanner Hughes is happiest when he is off on an adventure overseas as an army ranger. When his grandmother dies and tells him to find where he belongs and the name of his father, he heads to Asheboro, North Carolina. He hopes to find answers there when he has a fender bender with a teen driver and meets her mother, Dr. Kaitlyn Cooper.
Jasper is an 83-year-old-man who lives with his dog near a forest. He is no stranger to heartbreak and trauma. When he learns of a white deer, he vows to protect it from poachers.
This book is about connection and how people orbit around each other. How connections are made, how trauma affects one’s life, and the journey of the three main characters’ lives. All of them likeable and I rooted for each of them.
I enjoyed the POV’s and the story. I enjoyed how Sparks combined love, loss, grief, hope, connection, and faith. Sparks continues to be a great storyteller who focuses on the characters, their emotional and physical lives, and their relationships.
Well written, well thought out and moving.
