Loved It!

What a wonderful series! I started Deep in The Valley on Sat. morning, finished Just Over the Mountain on Sun. at midnight, I just didn't want to put the books down; can't wait to start Down By the River and see what happens next. Dr. June, John, Elmer -all the characters are so well developed, and Jim Post, whew, wouldn't I like him to show up at my place in the middle of the night! Five stars all the way!

Small Towns still Rock

Robyn Carr just seems to bring out the best in me. Her writing style is remarkable and she once again hits on life in the small town of Grace Valley and centers on the life of Dr. June Hudson whom we came to love in Deep in the Valley.There is just so much to love about this novel but the one that I find interesting is that June's in love with a man no one in the "nosey" town of Grace even knows exist and she can't tell anyone, not even her father, as her lover happens to an undercover DEA agent.If you're expecting a novel filled with violence and sex, this isn't the novel for you. But if you're looking for a novel about caring and sharing, where people actually about family, friends and neighbors -- usually whether you want them to or not, go pick up Just Over the Mountain. You're bound to be caught up in the magic as I was.

I'm packing my bags.....

....and heading off in search of Grace Valley!!!Very rarely does a reader come across a cast of characters she wants to move in with, but Robyn Carr's books always do this to me!! She writes "real" and this reader appreciates that--even the best characters in Carr's books have their quirks and idiosyncracies that make them a little less than perfect and in JUST OVER THE MOUNTAIN she triumphs with a mix of the good, the bad and the funny. Mixed with a little too-good-to-be-true and bittersweet. Warm, wonderful characters in situations that mirror life. I found myself nodding my head in several spots and my eyes tearing up in others. Reading aloud the funny parts to my son. Just what this reader wants in a book!!!I am looking forward to the next book in the Grace Valley series--don't know that I'm going to be able to make it until then!!

Read it in one day! Wonderful!!!

This was a fantastic sequel to "Deep in the Valley". I do recommend you read Deep in the Valley first though to truly appreciate the characters. Please give these two books a try- regardless of what you thought of "The House on Olive Street" or "The Wedding Party". These two Grace Valley books are different. They include the entire town in the book not just one character. I very rarely write reviews, (although I often read them- shame on me)and I just had to recommend this book and its prequel. I wonder if this could be a series? I hope so!!
