North Star Resort tells the story of a family struggling to form, to survive, and to embrace the gifts of nature and love. Lynn North, a single mother who bears twin children out of wedlock, shoulders the responsibilities incurred with caring for her children as well as her Alzheimer's stricken father and auto-accident brain injured sister. While she maintains hope of reuniting with the father of her children who is oblivious of her young family, she understands that the immediate daily needs of her children, father and sister are the command issues in her every breath. She focuses on the wellbeing of her immediate family. When Patrick Joyce, the love of her life, is drawn back into her life, Lynn recognizes that the young man is caught in a mix of grieving for his recently deceased twin brother and the shock of learning Lynn's children were his. Lynn's vision enables her to anticipate the emotional and developmental journeys that Patrick must complete to take on the responsibilities as Lynn's companion and the father of their children. North Star Resort tells the story of family building bonds of love in their boreal boundary waters home in Minnesota's northernmost tier where nature and love magically blend into themes of heartfelt commitment to the notion of family.
