The New York Times number one bestselling author Nicholas Sparks is back with his most moving and uplifting love story yet - what are you wishing for this Christmas?

If you had one wish...

Maggie hasn't told this story in years. More than two decades ago, she fell in love. She was sixteen and far from home, waiting to give her baby up for adoption. Bryce showed Maggie how to take photographs and he didn't judge her for the way her belly swelled under her jumper. They had the perfect first kiss. Theirs was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of love.

Now, as Maggie sits by the Christmas tree in her gallery telling her story, surrounded by the photographs that made her famous - the photographs Bryce never saw - her new gallery assistant asks her a question. If she had one wish, what would she wish for this Christmas?

Maggie always thought she knew the answer to that question. But before she can say 'I'd go back to that winter with Bryce', she stops herself. It is all she has ever wanted but suddenly here, on this dark night under the twinkling stars, there is something else she wants. She wants to find her baby.

... what would you wish for?

A heart-wrenching story about discovery and loss, The Wish is a reminder that time with those precious to us is the greatest gift of all.

If you had one wish, what would you wish for?

1 New York Times bestselling author Nicholas Sparks returns with a gorgeous new novel about a phtographer whose past and present are about to collide in ways she could never have imagined.

Maggie hasn't told this story in years.

More than twenty years ago, when she was sixteen and far from home, waiting to give her baby up for adoption, she fell in love. Bryce showed Maggie how to take photographs, he didn't judge her for the way her belly swelled under her jumper and together they had the perfect first kiss. Theirs was a once in a lifetime kind of love.

Now, as Maggie sits by the Christmas tree in her gallery telling her story, surrounded by the photographs that made her famous - the photographs Bryce never saw - her new gallery assistant asks her a question. If she had one wish, what would she wish for this Christmas?

Maggie always thought she knew the answer to that question. But suddenly, she's not so sure...
