Publisher Description
The No.1 New York Times bestselling author of the Virgin River series explores the healing powers of Colorado as one woman seeks the happiness she's long been missing.
Maggie Sullivan knows she needs to slow down and the best place to do that is Sullivan's Crossing. The campground and charming general store at the crossroads of the Colorado and the Continental Divide Trails belong to Maggie's eccentric father, Sully, and she longs to indulge in his simple way of life.
But when Maggie must take responsibility for the Crossing, a quiet and serious hiker, Cal Jones, offers to lend a hand. Maggie is suspicious - until she discovers the true reason for his deliberate isolation.
Though Cal and Maggie each struggle with loss and loneliness, the time they spend together gives them hope for something brighter on the horizon...if only they can learn to find peace and healing - and perhaps love - with each other.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Carr takes a break from her Thunder Point series to explore the mountains of Colorado in this contemporary, which is filled with set pieces that ring true but largely fail to excite. Talented neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan, reeling from personal and professional setbacks most notably a wrongful death lawsuit and a miscarriage retreats to her father's home, a campground called Sullivan's Crossing. She meets Cal Jones, who came to the Crossing with his own issues to sort out, and immediately finds him suspicious. When Maggie's father suffers a heart attack, Maggie commits to caring for him, and she and Cal grow close as they both try to determine how to be their best selves. For all that readers learn about Maggie and Cal, they still feel underdeveloped as characters, and though there are moments of commotion, including medical crises to a young woman's abduction, they serve more as opportunities for Maggie to demonstrate her capabilities than anything else. The plodding pace eventually overpowers the pleasant setting and spicy-sweet romance.
