Life has been difficult for Christine Monroe and she has had to live on the street with no food or money. But her future takes a turn for the better one day when she walks into a diner to look for employment and bumps into Kent Peterson.

Kent Peterson, a successful doctor is enthralled with Christine the moment he sees her. He is able to see past her worn clothes and senses that she is a good person even when everyone else mistreats her. Sally, Kent's daughter is quickly taken by Christine and hopes that her prayers have finally been answered and she will finally get a new mommy.

Shannon Rouchelle warms your heart with Star Gazer. This brief story makes you realize that not everyone who is homeless necessarily chose that life. Christine is a likeable character but with a very low self-esteem. Kent is patient with her and quickly finds himself falling in love. It was good to see the characters grow from the obstacles that were thrown their way. Although I would have like to have seen different facets to Kent Peterson, I found Star Gazer to be charming.
