Inspired by a true story, Bright Star tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of Appalachia in the 1920s and '40s. When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past-and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives. With beautiful melodies, powerfully moving characters, and a story that unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion, Bright Star is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.
