The book follows four friends grieving a beloved member of their tribe that has passed. This book is one of the earliest Carr works I’ve had the pleasure of reading and a prime example of one of her standalone novels. So, commit to all three books ( Just Over the Mountain and Down by the River rounding out the series) and you’ll get a pretty darn authentic taste of Carr’s writing style and her particular vein of women’s fiction. There is a series-long arc that begins in Deep in the Valley, but luckily for readers with massive TBR piles, this series is a relatively quick read. Note: Although I’m recommending Deep in the Valley as the first book in your Robyn Carr Reading Pathway very honestly, I’m recommending this entire trilogy. In this book, we meet a small-town doctor, June, her secret boyfriend, Jim, June’s meddling father, and the entire Grace Valley cast of characters.
Deep in the Valley is the first book in Carr’s Grace Valley trilogy.
This book kicked me out of my post-college reading slump and into the world of romantic fiction. I’ve recommended this book before, and I’m going to keep recommending since it made such a deep and lasting impact on my reading life. So before you dive into Virgin River, try a standalone or a short Carr series to give you a bit of a teaser. Uffdah, that series is an investment one that is completely worth it if Carr’s no-nonsense writing style is your cup of tea. Her Virgin River series, magnificent in scope and world-building, is twenty books long. And so, figuring out where to start on your Robyn Carr journey is a daunting task. The recipient of the 2016 RWA Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award, Carr has solidified her place among the best and greatest women’s fiction and romance writers. Robyn Carr books are almost always full of backwoods bars, mother hen types, and friendships forged in the darkest hours life’s tragedies. Her worlds are full of people who are so horribly relatable that I might find them walking down the street in my own neighborhood. Working my way through Carr’s Virgin River series and then her Grace Valley series, opened my eyes to the kind of friendships, the kind of romance, I hoped for myself and my friends. I fell in love with women’s fiction ( or whatever you want to call it) through Robyn Carr books.
