Return to Virgin River for the holidays in this uplifting tale from the beloved series by New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr. Now a Netflix series!

Last Christmas Marcie Sullivan said a final goodbye to her husband, Bobby. This Christmas she&;s come to Virgin River to find the man who saved his life and gave her three more years to love him.

Fellow marine Ian Buchanan dragged Bobby&;s shattered body onto a medical transport in Fallujah four years ago, then disappeared as soon as their unit arrived stateside. Since then, Marcie&;s letters to Ian have gone unanswered.

Marcie tracks Ian to the tiny mountain town of Virgin River and finds a man as wounded emotionally as Bobby was physically. But she is not easily scared off. As Marcie pushes her way into his rugged and reclusive life, she discovers a sweet but damaged soul beneath a rough exterior.

Ian doesn&;t know what to make of the determined young widow who forces him to look into the painful past and, what&;s worse, the uncertain future. But it is, after all, a season of miracles and maybe, just maybe, it&;s time to banish the ghosts and open his heart.
