Okay - genau das hab ich erwartet von Frau Carr. Insgesamt ein durchschnittliches Buch aus der Virgin River Reihe - nicht das Beste, aber auch nicht das schlechteste. Ich mochte die Teenager-Story um die Stieftochter, aber die anderen Virgin River Charactere kamen hier ein bissle kurz und nur am Rande vor.

Another good book from the Virgin River series, these books are always enjoyable, however I felt the romance between Lief and Kelly was too quick and had no substance, they were just kinda thrown together and then they just loved each other, without any in depth exploration to their relationship. On the other hand I absolutely loved Lief’s relationship with his daughter Courtney, seeing a 14 year old girl (troubled teen) go from a goth wearing kid, to sorting herself out in a year and pulling through to the other side (she lost her mum and had help through counselling) it was heart warming seeing her struggle and then get better.

harvest moon by robyn carr
Kelly is a chef and has had enough of her environment and her male friend, after a medical issue she flees to her sister Jillian who has an organic farm.
A movie script writer has had enough of LA also. Laffe and his 14 yo daughter are also at Virgin River. He is getting help for his daughter and himself
with a local therapist.
Opportunities arise where she is able to cook to her hearts content and hooks up with another female in a business venture.
His daughter is finding her way among animals and making close friends with a nearby family.
The open house they had the neighborhood came with fun things for children to do, good food, everybody pitched in to make it a wonderful afternoon.
Love the horse scenes and I am almost ready to try it myself. I'm finding out what's involved before the riding part to get over my fear of the horse and
how to feel comfortable around them.
As they all spend more time together the therapist has seemed to break through and the girl is now acting normal, she's got a lot more going on in her life,
her interests, etc.
He and his daughter go visit relatives for thanksgiving day
They talk a lot in the car and really get down to the problems with one another. They have come to understandings and they can laugh together now.
The story of the migration of the geese hit home as we have a local company down the street that sets a stuffed fox out on the lawn to deter the geese from landing there-doesn't work.
Her mentor tracks her down and prepares a feast for them all. Can Laffe keep her to himself or will she run back to the city and get another kitchen to run?
Her real father wants her for the Christmas holidays but Laffe who's been raising her thinks they've given her to him. He has to get the lawyers involved and
the girl wants to visit his relatives on the farm again because they had such a great time at Thanksgiving.
All heck breaks loose and things couldn't get any worse than what happens next.
She no longer feels wanted and makes plans to go back to the city but something happens that changes that and the whole outcome when it's announced in front of
his daughter.
I rate this story a 5, it's heartfelt welcome is inspiring around the holidays. Anything is possible.

The pauses in the narration are getting worse. It is a fine balance between intentional pauses and ending a chapter. But the pauses are a bit too long.

Kelly is in Virgin River after a stressed out break down at her job as a Sous Chef in San Francisco. She starts cooking her Grandma's recipes with Jilly Farm's produce and sharing them with the community as she heals and tries to figure out her next path. Leif and his step daughter are new to Virgin River to escape the city after the loss of his wife and Courtney's mother.
The stories of Jillian and Kelly Matlock are my favorite of the whole series. I love that Kelly moved in with her sister and their talents are so well paired. It is dream worthy to imagine living in a big house in the mountains cooking and canning beautiful produce as your living. I enjoy as the series progresses how all the characters are all intertwined and come together from outside of VR and then as a community. 4*

This is the first book that I have read from this series and it makes me want to read the 12 books before it. Great mind candy but it was well written. It made you like the characters and had a believable story line. Great Book!
