NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Ballantine Books -- October 8, 2013 -- Hardcover, e-Book, Audiobook
’Tis the season for romance, second chances, and Christmas cheer with this new novel from 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 mega-bestselling 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, Starry Night is a delightful novel of finding happiness in the most
surprising places.

In this joyous and whimsical holiday novel, Debbie Macomber rings in the season with the return of
Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy, delivering laughs, love, and a charming dose of angelic intervention.

Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy know that an angel’s work is never done, especially during a time as
wondrous as New Year’s Eve. With an apprentice angel, Will, under their wings, they descend upon
Times Square in New York City eager to join in the festivities. And when Will spies two lonely
strangers in the crowd, he decides midnight is the perfect time to lend a heavenly helping hand.

Lucie Farrara and Aren Fairchild meet after bumping into each other—seemingly by accident—in Times Square on New Year’s
Eve. They immediately hit it off and find they have a lot in common: Lucie is a burgeoning chef and Aren is a respected food
critic. But just as quickly as they’re brought together, another twist of fate tears them apart, leaving Lucie and Aren with no way
to reconnect.

A year later, Lucie is the chef of an acclaimed new restaurant and Aren is a successful columnist for a major New York
newspaper. For all the time that’s passed, the two have not forgotten their one serendipitous evening—and neither have Shirley,
Goodness, Mercy, and Will. To reunite the young couple, the angels cook up a brilliant plan: mix true love, a second chance, and
a generous sprinkle of mischief to create an unforgettable Christmas miracle.
