You love stories about first love that reverberate through an entire lifetime.
You appreciate Nicholas Sparks' blend of nostalgia, romance, and emotional depth without melodrama.
You're drawn to narratives exploring how the people we meet young can quietly alter the trajectory of our lives.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots with high stakes and plot twists over introspective character study.
You find romance centred on regret and what-ifs emotionally exhausting rather than cathartic.
You're looking for a novel primarily about the present day rather than one that moves between past and present.

About this book

A novel about first love and its lasting impact. In 1996, sixteen-year-old Maggie Dawes is sent to live with an aunt in Ocracoke, a remote village on North Carolina's Outer Banks. There she meets Bryce Trickett, a local teenager admitted to West Point, who introduces her to photography and the beauty of the coastal town. By 2019, Maggie has become a renowned travel photographer who runs a gallery in New York and photographs locations worldwide. That year, she is unexpectedly grounded over Christmas while dealing with a serious medical diagnosis. Working closely with a young assistant, she begins to reflect on a Christmas from decades earlier and the love that shaped the course of her life. The e-reader edition includes exclusive travel photos and a letter from the author.
