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!
