Join Robyn Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of
the Virgin River and Thunder Point series, as she explores
the healing powers of rural Colorado in a brand-new story of
fresh starts, budding relationships and one woman's journey
to finding the happiness she's long been
missing
Between the urban bustle of Denver
and the high-stress environment of a career in neurosurgery,
Maggie Sullivan has hit a wall. When an emergency, high-risk
procedure results in the death of a teenager, Maggie finds
herself in the middle of a malpractice lawsuit—and
experiencing levels of anxiety she's never faced before.
It's in this desperate moment that Maggie's boyfriend
decides he can't handle her emotional baggage, and she's
left alone, exhausted and unsure of what her future holds.
One thing is certain, though: she needs to slow down before
she burns out completely, and the best place she can think
to do that is Sullivan's Crossing.
Named for Maggie's great-grandfather, the land and charming
general store at the crossroads of the Colorado and the
Continental Divide trails have been passed down through the
generations and now belong to Maggie's estranged father,
Sully. Though raised by her mother and stepfather after her
parents divorced, Maggie has always adored Sully—despite his
hands-off approach to fatherhood. When she shows up
unannounced in Sullivan's Crossing, he welcomes her with
opens arms, and she relishes the opportunity to rebuild
their relationship.
But when Sully has a sudden heart attack, Maggie's world is
rocked once again. Consumed with his care, she's relieved to
find that Cal Jones, a quiet and serious-looking camper, has
been taking over many of Sully's responsibilities as he
recuperates. Still, Maggie is suspicious of this mysterious
man's eagerness to help—until she finds out the true reason
for his deliberate isolation.
Though Cal and Maggie each struggle with loss and
loneliness, the time they spend together gives Maggie hope
for something brighter just on the horizon…if only they can
learn to find peace and healing—and perhaps love—with each
other.
