The Wish

by Nicholas Sparks

"A #1 New York Times bestselling novel about the enduring legacy of first love, and the decisions that haunt us forever."

📖 CONTEMPORARY FICTION | ROMANCE | HOLIDAY DRAMA

A deeply moving story that sweeps from the wind-swept beaches of North Carolina to the bustling art galleries of New York, exploring the profound impact of a single, unforgettable Christmas.

Extended Synopsis

In 1996, sixteen-year-old Maggie Dawes was sent away to Ocracoke, a remote village on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, to live with an aunt she barely knew. Feeling isolated from her friends and family, her world shifts when she meets Bryce Trickett. Handsome, genuine, and newly admitted to West Point, Bryce introduces Maggie to the beauty of the beach town and ignites her lifelong passion for photography.

By 2019, Maggie has become a renowned travel photographer, running a successful gallery in New York. However, an unexpected and sobering medical diagnosis leaves her grounded over the holidays. As she grows closer to her young assistant, Maggie finds herself recounting the story of that transformative Christmas decades earlier—a story of the profound first love that charted the course for the rest of her life.
