   Have one book to go to complete the Sullivan’s Crossing series. Enjoying it thoroughly, maybe as much as the Virgin River books, but I’m not so sure, since I’m a Northern California girl (age 82). Just want to thank you, Robyn Carr, for the gift of your books. I save them especially to re-read during stressful times, such as last year’s CZU wildfire, when we were evacuated within 20 minutes with a 100 lb. dog, 3 cats (two of which are semi feral), and 4 chickens. After that dreadful night, I reached for and began re-reading the Virgin River series. Familiarity with the characters brings that cuddle quality. Mel, Jack, of course, and then the other regulars. As a consequence, you are a major gift in my life. Thank you!
