Instead of soaring on the wings of destiny, she escapes her small-town life and domineering mother by attending college in Chicago. LaRae's wild dream of becoming an artist gets shaken when a tragedy occurs. When a rugged, Norwegian grad student named Lars becomes intrigued by her creativity, sparks fly between the two. While an unexpected illness causes LaRae to return home Lars disappears without warning or a forwarding address. Financially pressed, LaRae takes on a dreaded secretary job when suddenly the contents of a letter move her to Norway. While LaRae temporarily lives in a tiny coastal town in Norway, a quirky local artist befriends her. Although determined never to dabble in the arts again, the older artist coaxes LaRae into painting once more. When a suave gallery owner discovers LaRae's hidden talent, will she forget Lars and respond to his attention? Will she believe in herself enough to let others judge her work and finally experience real love?
