Publisher's summary

A Netflix original series!

Welcome back to Virgin River with the book that started it all....

Wanted: Midwife/nurse practitioner in Virgin River, population 600. Make a difference against a backdrop of towering California redwoods and crystal clear rivers. Rent-free cabin included.

When the recently widowed Melinda Monroe sees this ad, she quickly decides that the remote mountain town of Virgin River might be the perfect place to escape her heartache, and to reenergize the nursing career she loves. But her high hopes are dashed within an hour of arriving - the cabin is a dump, the roads are treacherous, and the local doctor wants nothing to do with her. Realizing she’s made a huge mistake, Mel decides to leave town the following morning.

But a tiny baby abandoned on a front porch changes her plans...and former Marine Jack Sheridan cements them into place.

Bonus content included! An exclusive, behind the scenes look at the filming of Season 1 of Virgin River on Netflix!

but still love it.

Highly recommended

I enjoyed this series very much so, storyline was Romantic comedic and smooth with continuous anticipation of what was coming next. The drama was sensitive But readable to the understanding of each individual character. It was fun I enjoyed it the narrator did a phenomenal job on this one.
