Do you believe in angels? Brooke Jacobs doesn't. Brooke Jacobs is successful by outward appearances. She's young, she's a doctor, and she has nothing tying her down. But she knows that all is not as it appears. She is aware of her own dysfunction and inability to connect with other people. She has never bonded, never cried or loved, never truly experienced the divinity of life. It is not until she meets a mysterious stranger at a bookstore in Portland, Oregon that she begins her journey of self-discovery. It is a journey that will lead her to Fairbanks, Alaska and to a profound understanding of the depth and timelessness of her own soul.
