About this listen

June Hudson is the town's doctor, a caring, capable woman who now has a bit of explaining to do. People are beginning to notice the bloom in her cheeks - and the swell of her belly. Happily, DEA agent Jim Post is back in June's arms for good, newly retired from undercover work and ready for new beginnings here in Grace Valley. Expecting the unexpected is a way of life in Grace Valley, and the community is overflowing with gossip right now. Who is the secret paramour June's aunt Myrna is hiding? Does the town's poker-playing pastor have too many aces up his sleeve? But when dangers, from man and nature, rise up with a vengeance to threaten June and the town, this community pulls together and shows what it's made of. And Jim discovers the true meaning of happiness here in Grace Valley: There really is no place like home.

I was sorry it had to end

I just loved this trilogy. I laughed hard. I cried. I couldn’t put it down. I was sorry when it ended. It was filled with such delightful characters. It had a good message of people taking care of each other. And it had bad guys who didn’t make it. Just a great story and the narrator was wonderful. A+

Common life in a small community

Loved the “coupling” of characters and how they addressed challenges and obstacles in their lives. Loved the tight knit community where everyone knew almost everything about everyone who were their neighbors. The willingness to share, help, support and forgive. Excellent narration

Slow start to the series Great end.

One of the things I really like about Robyn Carr is how she addresses social issues. In this series, the Grace Valley trilogy, she takes a great look at the lives of the rural poor, isolation, mental health, and gambling addiction.

There’s a lot of time for fun in these books, and they are full of forgiveness and recovery. Because Grace Valley is near Virgin River, the two communities share some characters. In this book, the wacky psychologist, Jerry Powell, helps a number of troubled teens in positive ways. I like that. I listened to all three books. as usual, Therese Plummer was a brilliant narrator. I wish this series would be expanded. But I think that about Sullivan’s Crossing and Thunder Point, too.

I think a number of Robyn Carr’s characters could be put into spinoff TV shows. her characters are wonderful. The books are full of hope and wonder. Thanks RC for writing and TP for narration.
