This is illustrated perfectly in the way Carrie’s investigative reporting skills land her at Finn’s icy front door, unwelcome and unexpected, and suddenly wondering if she should have thought the journey through more fully.įinn’s character is all rough edges and harsh words. She has the determination expected of a reporter but is still a little green and yet to prove herself. Another of Macomber’s strengths is characterisation and she creates a likeable lead in Carrie. This was my first time reading a novel by Debbie Macomber, and the way I slipped effortlessly into the story from page one is testament to her storytelling abilities. And soon she is torn between pursuing the story of a lifetime and following her heart. When she finally finds Finn, she discovers a man both more charismatic and more stubborn than she even expected. It is the holidays, but her career is at stake, so she forsakes her family celebrations and flies out to snowy Alaska. Digging deep into Finn’s past, Carrie develops a theory on his whereabouts.
But he stubbornly declines to speak to anyone in the press, and no one even knows exactly where he lives. Living in the remote Alaskan wilderness, Finn has written a megabestselling memoir about surviving in the wild. 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. Carrie Slayton, a big-city society-page columnist, longs to write more serious news stories. ’Tis the season for romance, second chances, and Christmas cheer with this new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.
