Former Navy pilot Marlee Stein leaves San Diego with her young daughter Jo Beth to start fresh in her hometown, Whitepine, Montana. She hopes the change of scenery and her family being there will help Jo Beth adjust to the loss of her father Cole, who died at thirty six years old from lymphatic cancer. In Big Sky Country, Marlee plans to help her brother run the family's charter air service, Cloud Chasers and mercy missions for Angel Fleet.

To her shock and feeling a bit guilty, Jo Beth finds herself attracted to park ranger Wylie Ames. He reciprocates, but he too wants no relationships at this time as he raises his son Dean. However, their respective children ignore the adult concerns and become close friends. As the single parents fall in love, Dean is diagnosed with cancer, making life difficult for his father, but also disturbs his best friend and her mother, still grieving their loss.

ANGELS OF THE BIG SKY is a heart-wrenching tale that stars a fascinating female who is unsure that love is strong enough to deal with a second cancer victim of someone who means so much to her. Marlee makes the tale, and she seems so real as she loves father and son, but struggles with coping with the death threatening illness after she and her daughter watched Cole fade away. Her fears include how Jo Beth copes. Readers will appreciate Roz Denny Fox's well written realistic family drama.
