Once again, Virgin River is the safe haven for families in need of sanctuary and a safe place to heal and get back on their feet. Single mother Nora will do anything to keep her two young daughters fed, happy and clothed, even walk almost four miles to an apple orchard to harvest apples before walking home again. Orchard matriarch Maxie takes a shine to Nora, who readers will suspect remind her of herself as a young woman, and insists her grandson…hire Nora. Though Nora isn’t his ideal of a picker, ….feels a strong pull toward Nora, one he tries to ignore, not wanting to get involved with the single mother, no matter how sexy he finds her and how cute her little girls are. Nora’s life is complicated when the preacher, Noah, finds her father, a man who has been trying to locate Nora since her estranged mother died two years earlier. While Nora has a hard time reconciling her anger toward her father she has carried most of her life, she wants her girls to have a relationship with her grandfather and learns memory is a strange thing, especially when it is colored by stories from a bitter ex-wife, even if she was Nora’s mother. In Robyn Carr’s signature style, Nora wrestles with her personal demons as does…but happily ever after always wins out in Virgin River and there are hints of the next residents to arrive and let the town work its magic on them. This series is a wonderful guilty pleasure for a leisurely afternoon.
