Red Sky, Minnesota, has to be one of the prettiest places on Earth, and on a good day even Angela Tyler will admit to that. But lately, she has few spare moments for reflection. Since her sister's sudden, tragic death, Angela has been forced to leave her job in Minneapolis and take over the Red Sky Inn.

It has been a long time since Angela has been able to visit her favorite spot -- the River of Stars. These days she feels unable to appreciate its beauty.

When Angela meets Matt Telstad, a gorgeous high school history teacher, she doesn't dare to dream of becoming involved. But Matt is a special kind of person, and before long he has reawakened Angela to the beauty of nature and the possibilities of love. For one brief, shining moment, Angela almost believes that life will work out for the best. And then her world is shaken when Matt reveals the secret he has been harboring inside himself...
