Just when you're in love, life goes wrong. A Coast Guard
search and rescue pilot working out of Thunder Point,
Oregon, is told she's up for a promotion and transfer to
the Atlantic coast. She's got a partner who's just settled
in and built a business, and a brother a year away from
college. Similarly, a young girl still at school has lost
her boyfriend to the lure of college dating now he's
eighteen. She feels her life is over.
In THE NEWCOMER Sarah Dupre the pilot brings Hank Cooper to
visit her SAR station and as he's been a helicopter pilot
he gets on fine with everyone. He doesn't know yet about
the transfer, as Sarah can't make up her mind whether to
accept or resign. Hank has been great for her, but she's
not sure she wants to ask him to support her with his new
beach bar, and the college fees are her problem. Ashley
James, the dumped teenager, has finally stopped texting the
boy she'd been dating and joined a support group. Her
mother Gina wishes such support had been there for her,
when she was dumped as a fifteen year old in the family
way. Some ladies about town still look down on her for
that, she discovers. Small towns do have drawbacks, though
in other ways the kindness and solidarity is wonderful. One
woman who walked out of this town however has just driven
back in - the ex-wife of Gina's new partner, twice as
glamorous as Hollywood.
THE NEWCOMER is the second in Robyn Carr's new Thunder
Point series, and all those who've followed her Virgin
River series won't be disappointed with the new setting.
Her characters feel very real, with normal human reactions
and crises. Topical issues are addressed like cyber-
bullying by teenagers and DNA testing of suddenly-
discovered children. In Thunder Point we see grey whales,
wild flowers and woodland as setting, with the crashing
waves of the Pacific to draw fishermen and boarders. I
liked this town and while I was reading the book as a
standalone, not having read the first, I'll be picking up
the rest of the series. The first instalment is called The
Wanderer and the third will be The Hero. Enjoy!
With humor and insight, #1 New York Times bestselling
author Robyn Carr looks at letting go of the past-and
knowing when you've found something worth building your
future on
Single dad and Thunder Point's deputy
sheriff "Mac" McCain has worked hard to keep everyone safe
and happy. Now he's found his own happiness with Gina James.
The longtime friends have always shared the challenges and
rewards of raising their adolescent daughters. With an
unexpected romance growing between them, they're feeling
like teenagers themselves-suddenly they can't get enough of
one another.
And just when things are really
taking off, their lives are suddenly thrown into chaos. When
Mac's long-lost-and not missed-ex-wife shows up in town,
drama takes on a whole new meaning. They're wondering if
their new feelings for each other can withstand the
pressure...but they are not going down without a
fight.
Step into the world of Thunder Point,
a little town on the Oregon coast where newcomers are
welcomed, hearts are broken and mended, and the dramas of
everyday life keep the locals laughing, crying and falling
in love.
