Community Life

Shelter Mountain by Robyn Carr is a delightful contemporary novel and the second book in the Virgin River series. It can be read as a stand-alone.

Once more the community of Virgin River pulls together to welcome a stranger and to help to bring healing and wholeness. The community has a strong sense of right and wrong, and will fight the injustices they see.

There are some hard to read topics of domestic abuse, miscarriage and still birth. The community gathers round to help in whatever way they can.

The older men of the town act as role models for the younger ones, taking them in under their wings.
