There aren't any harder workers than Tom Cavanaugh and
Nora Crane. In Robyn Carr's SUNRISE
POINT, Tom's a Marine who's come home to run his
family's apple orchard in Virgin River. Nora Crane is a
striking single mom from the school of hard knocks, who
talks Tom's grandmother into hiring her for the
back–breaking job of picking apples. Nora walks miles
to the
orchard before sunrise and picks until her hands bleed. She
doesn't complain, and she's grateful for the job. How else
is she going to feed her kids?
Nora sure isn't Tom's ideal of the perfect woman, who
would be sweet, decent, maybe a little na�ve. But Tom can't
take his eyes off her, and Nora's thoughts keep drifting
back to the rugged, opinionated Tom Cavanaugh. Virgin River
has its newest couple. They just don't know it yet!
The grand prizewinner in Robyn's Beach Tote contest
doesn't need to pick apples, but she can tuck into her tote
the goods to capture summer's picture–worthy sunsets
with a
Kodak Playsport Camera. The rugged HD video camera, which
can capture stills, too, is shockproof, dustproof and
waterproof up to 10 feet underwater. Also to the grand
prizewinner—and two runners–up—Robyn will
send a Virgin
River novel.
Former marine Tom Cavanaugh's come home to Virgin River,
ready to take over his family's apple orchard and settle
down. He knows just what the perfect woman will be like:
sweet, decent, maybe a little naive. The marrying kind.
Nothing like Nora Crane. So why can't he keep his eyes off
the striking single mother?
Nora may not have a formal education, but she graduated
with honors from the school of hard knocks. She's been
through tough times and she'll do whatever it takes to
support her family, including helping with harvest time at
the Cavanaugh's orchard. She's always kept a
single–minded
focus on staying afloat...but suddenly her thoughts keep
drifting back to rugged, opinionated Tom Cavanaugh.
Both Nora and Tom have their own ideas of what family
means. But they're about to prove each other completely
wrong...
