What to do while waiting for season two of Virgin River on Netflix? How about diving into Return to Virgin River!!! Robyn Carr is back at it again with another fabulous addition to the Virgin River Series. Released today, October 13th!!
"It's where strangers become friends, and everyone is welcome."
This one really tugged at my heartstrings. Kaylee Sloan is heading to Humboldt county. She needs to grieve and find a way to come to terms with her new normal. One without her mother.
"You know what I learned about grief? It's always there and it's always at the center of your life and then one day you realize with some surprise that you had a fairly good day and you wonder if grief left. Or if it got smaller. It didn't - - your world got bigger."
Kaylee, after a very confusing start of unforeseen circumstances, finds herself next door to the pleasant and very attractive Landry, her new landlord. It's a slow, soft build-up where they share stories of heartbreak, parental loss, past jobs, and community relationships. They share life past and a budding present. It feels comfortable and real.
*On a personal note: I have to say, as someone who was extremely close to my mother, we talked every day and were very much like Kaylee and her mother. I totally get and understand the all-encompassing feeling of loss and the length of time it takes to be able to move forward without a mother and friend in your physical life.
I found a kindred spirit in the character of Kaylee. It's helpful in feeling not so alone in the process. Thanks for that Robyn Carr.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr returns to the beloved town of Virgin River with a brand-new story about fresh starts, new friends and the magic of Christmas.
Kaylee Sloan’s home in Southern California is full of wonderful memories of the woman who raised her. But the memories are prolonging her grief over her mother’s recent death. A successful author, Kaylee hoped she could pour herself into her work. Instead she has terrible writer’s block and a looming deadline.
Determined to escape distractions and avoid the holiday season, Kaylee borrows a cabin in Virgin River. She knows the isolation will help her writing, and as she drives north through the mountains and the majestic redwoods, she immediately feels inspired. Until she arrives at a building that has just gone up in flames. Devastated, she heads to Jack’s Bar to plan her next steps. The local watering hole is the heart of the town, and once she crosses the threshold, she’s surprised to be embraced by people who are more than willing to help a friend—or a stranger—in need.
Kaylee’s world is expanding in ways she never dreamed possible. And when she rescues a kitten followed by a dog with a litter of puppies, she finds her heart opening up to the animals who need her. And then there’s the dog trainer who knows exactly how to help her. As the holidays approach, Kaylee’s dread turns to wonder. Because there’s no better place to spend Christmas than Virgin River.
