For readers who have been here before, It’s undoubtedly lovely to catch up with old friends from previous books in the series.īut Kaylee’s advent makes this a great place for new readers to jump in without feeling like they missed the plot. Rather, Kaylee was an occasional visitor during her childhood, and her most recent visit was ten years in the past, during a previous crisis in her life. Because Kaylee has never really been a part of this community when she returns to Virgin River less than a year into her mourning for her beloved mother, she makes an excellent point of view character to introduce new readers (like me) to this well-loved place and series.Īs Kaylee is introduced to everyone who has come to, or come back to, live in this lovely little place, we get to meet them for the first time along with her. But Kaylee was never a resident of that much-loved little town. The story in Return to Virgin River is all about Kaylee Sloan’s, well, return to Virgin River. Because there’s no better place to spend Christmas than Virgin River. As the holidays approach, Kaylee’s dread turns to wonder. And then there’s the dog trainer who knows exactly how to help her. And when she rescues a kitten followed by a dog with a litter of puppies, she finds her heart opening up to the animals who need her. Kaylee’s world is expanding in ways she never dreamed possible. The local watering hole is the heart of the town, and once she crosses the threshold, she’s surprised to be embraced by people who are more than willing to help a friend-or a stranger-in need. Devastated, she heads to Jack’s Bar to plan her next steps. Until she arrives at a building that has just gone up in flames. She knows the isolation will help her writing, and as she drives north through the mountains and the majestic redwoods, she immediately feels inspired. Instead she has terrible writer’s block and a looming deadline.ĭetermined to escape distractions and avoid the holiday season, Kaylee borrows a cabin in Virgin River. A successful author, Kaylee hoped she could pour herself into her work. But the memories are prolonging her grief over her mother’s recent death. Kaylee Sloan’s home in Southern California is full of wonderful memories of the woman who raised her.
