Starry Night/Debbie Macomber/243 pages

In the introduction, Debbie Macomber says "it's a romance - plain and simple", and she's right about that.  It's also called "A Christmas Novel", and the story takes place between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I wouldn't consider it a "Christmas" story.  Carrie Slayton is bored writing for the society page of a large Chicago newspaper.  Her boss challenges her to write an article about the reclusive author of a hot, new book who lives in Alaska.  This story is truly a romance.
