Be the star of your own small town romance novel in Asheboro, NC

Asheboro isn’t just like a town out of a Nicholas Sparks novel — thanks to his latest book, “Counting Miracles,” it is.

While Sparks never names the “brew pub” in the novel, we like to think it was Four Saints Brewing Co.

Ever wondered what it’s like to be a character in a Nicholas Sparks novel?

ICYMI: Nicholas Sparks’ latest novel, “Counting Miracles,” takes place in Asheboro, NC — only three hours away from CHS.

While we can’t promise an intrepid romance like you find in the New York Times No. 1 bestseller, we can share four locations featured in the award-winning author’s most recent work:

  • The North Carolina Zoo — If you’re an exotic bird, we’re an exotic bird.
  • The Uwharrie Mountains — Take a hike in the old national forest and keep an eye out for any miraculous creatures that might be lurking.
  • Downtown Asheboro – We want all the local antique shopping, forever, every day.
  • Asheboro Public Library – Snag a copy of “Counting Miracles” and see which other locations the characters in the book visit.

Okay, we know we snuck in some references from The Notebook, but it wasn’t over. It still isn’t over.
