Robyn Carr is a true wordsmith. Layer by layer Carr successfully brings you deeper into the world of Sully and Maggie. And then she makes you wait. Wait for Cal's story. Carr knows you are waiting to see what makes him tick. And then you savor the moment so beautifully done. A masterpiece.

Welcome back to Sullivan's Crossing where life is gently nestled at the foot of great mountains and surrounded by a most beautiful landscape. The people of Sullivan's Crossing seem to live simple lives and none more than Sully and his amazing daughter Maggie. Actually Maggie left Sully's many years ago with her mother who decided this was not where she wanted to be for either herself or her little girl. And Sully let them go. Perhaps it was for the better. Maggie was brilliant and ultimately became a well-respected neurosurgeon. But her career was ripe with issues -- most not of her doing. Life was dragging her down. So she returned home to Sully not sure what the reception would be. But Sullivan's Crossing was calling her -- and she listened to her heart.

For a small town whose business is decidedly seasonal there is still lots to be said for Sullivan's Crossing. Hard working people abound with some of the same troubles of those in big cities -- major difference is that these folks become almost one big family and families help each other. When Cal Jones headed there for a brief respite on his search for what his future would hold he never expected to find himself brought into the fold. Cal was taken with Sully and his friends and neighbors. He was just biding his time until the weather was suitable for his planned hiking trip. But in the meantime Cal was discovering much about himself.

For example take Maggie, Sully's daughter. A neurosurgeon for goodness sake and yet here she was working her dad's general store and completely in her element. Just what was her story? As time passed Cal was going to realize everyone had a story -- just as did he. People were living their lives as best as they could and finding joy and happiness along the way.

Cal realized he wanted some of that joy and happiness -- he just wasn't certain where to find it. Could it possibly be right there where he temporarily landed?

Maggie was also nursing her wounds. Neurosurgeons were gifted practitioners but they weren't gods or magicians. They rejoiced when their patients recovered and hopefully faced a full normal life. But at times even the most skilled couldn't conjure up the magic needed to save someone. And Maggie was hard-pressed to recover from losing her latest patient, a teenager involved in a tragic car accident. Faced with her disappointment in her life which included some major life altering events Maggie was looking for something -- problem was she just wasn't sure what.

WHAT WE FIND is uplifting and inspired entertainment from beginning to end. If you are looking for a book to transport you to a place filled with wondrous moments just pick up Robyn Carr's WHAT WE FIND. Page after page is filled with sassy biting dialog and situations just humorous enough to have you laughing out loud. Trust me.

SUMMARY

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 lawsuitโ€”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 Sullyโ€”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 helpโ€”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 horizonโ€ฆif only they can learn to find peace and healingโ€”and perhaps loveโ€”with each other.
