Carrie Slayton is unhappy with her job as a society writer
for the Chicago Sun-Times. She wants to use her talents in
other areas. When she hands her letter of resignation to her
editor, he tells her that if she can find Finn Dalton, she
can have any assignment she wants. Finn is the author of a
best-seller on wilderness survival, and he seems to be an
elusive recluse that no one has been able to find to
get an interview. Carrie take the challenge and uses some
out-of-the-box thinking to get to Fairbanks, Alaska armed
only with the name of a bush pilot and an object that might
help her locate Finn. Sawyer O'Halloran agrees to fly Carrie
to Finn's cabin in a remote northern area of Alaska, but can
only drop her off due to an approaching storm. She's on her
own from there.
Of course Finn is very upset that Carrie has arrived on his
doorstep, but he can't do much about it. He refuses her an
interview and isn't very pleasant about anything. However, a
game of cribbage begins to warm him to at least being civil.
And then there is the starry, starry night that works its
magic. Before they realize what is happening, both are
becoming more and more attracted to each other. The two
worlds they live in could not be more different. Could they
ever find any common ground to nurture a relationship?
STARRY NIGHT is a magical story about finding love
in the most unexpected place. The two main characters are
such a contrast to each other, as well as the two different
worlds they live in. But both are strong and determined and
know what they want. The plot moves at a very fast pace,
zipping from Chicago to Seattle, then on to Alaska and back
to Chicago in a matter of less than a week. Can love move
fast enough to catch up with them? The supporting characters
are a mixed group showing both support and antagonism. With
a setting of the approaching Christmas holidays, Debbie
Macomber has given us another delightful romantic story to
cherish. This one will touch your heart just as much as her
other Christmas stories. Don't miss it!
'Tis the season for romance, second chances, and
Christmas cheer with this new novel from #1 New York Times
bestselling author Debbie Macomber.
Carrie Slayton, a big–city society–page
columnist, longs to write more serious news stories. So her
editor hands her a challenge: She can cover any topic she
wants, but only if she first scores the paper an interview
with Finn Dalton, the notoriously reclusive author.
Living in the remote Alaskan wilderness, Finn has
written a megabestselling memoir about surviving in the
wild. But he stubbornly declines to speak to anyone in the
press, and no one even knows exactly where he lives.
Digging deep into Finn's past, Carrie develops a theory
on his whereabouts. It is the holidays, but her career is at
stake, so she forsakes her family celebrations and flies out
to snowy Alaska. When she finally finds Finn, she discovers
a man both more charismatic and more stubborn than she even
expected. And soon she is torn between pursuing the story of
a lifetime and following her heart.
Filled with all the comforts and joys of Christmastime,

the most surprising places.
