Macomber, Debbie. Starry Night. Ballantine Books. 2013

SUMMARY:
Carrie Slayton, a journalist stuck in a position of writing the society page, longs to further her career. To have that chance though, she must gain an interview with best-selling author, Finn Dalton. The interview proves to be almost impossible as Finn lives in the remote Alaskan wilderness, refuses to do an interview with the press and plans to keep his bitter past to himself. Throughout the Christmas season, both Carrie and Finn must make decisions regarding careers, family and ultimately their hearts.

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS:
Having read most of Debbie Macomber’s Christmas novels, this book was a must on my reading list. Though not as witty as some of her other seasonal books (Angels at the Table, Mrs. Miracle), this was a delightfully engaging, spirited and feel-good book. Consider curling up in front of the fire with a warm blanket while you relish the beginning of the Christmas season with this story. Starry Night was perfectly named.

RATING:
4 (out of 5) pennies
