His journey takes him on an adventure far from home - to the big city of Chicago, the sandy shores of Southern California, and even all the way across the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand, where Esther lives. When he finally gets there, he discovers that Esther's life has collapsed in on itself and completely fallen apart.

As Leo follows his heart to save Esther, he is guided by the mystical clues hidden in the stars and constellations high above. Thanks to Esther's love for astronomy, the starry skies weave their way into the story in all sorts of amazing and fantastical ways. As Leo and Esther rekindle their love, their adventures in the beautiful island paradise of New Zealand lead to a deeper understanding of true friendship, young love, forgiveness, and the need to let go of the past in order to find new life.Southern Cross is the sequel to Leo Solstrom's debut novel entitled Northern Lights.

Yeah, there's more to life - always.
