A Virgin River Christmas Mass Market Description
From Booklist
Marcie Sullivan buried her Iraq War–veteran husband a year ago after watching him suffer from battle injuries for three years, and she just can’t seem to move on with her life. Deciding to find his missing best friend, she travels the back roads of Humboldt County, California, looking for the hero who has become a hermit. After visiting Virgin River, she finds Ian Buchanan living in a primitive cabin with no amenities. Ian growls at her, but she refuses to leave, almost dying of hypothermia until he rescues her, then nurses her back to health. With the specter of Bobby between them, they finally forge a friendship but feel much more than that. All Carr’s Virgin River regulars are here, turning this sometimes tearful tale into a warm, fuzzy read. Strong women, honorable ex-marines, and rural dangers, the hallmarks of this life-affirming, feel-good series, are all here. --Diana Tixier Herald

Marcie's husband, Bobby, came back from war in Iraq with a spinal injury and in critical condition, he never recovered. For more than three years Marcie cared for him and nursed him, always grateful for the time they still had. The person responsible for that time was Bobby's best friend and Sergeant, Ian. Ian had saved Bobby in Iraq and he managed to look in on or write Marcie when he had the chance. Then suddenly he went missing. No one had seen or heard from Ian in years. It's been almost a year since Bobby has passed away and Marcie has made it her mission to find Ian. She wants to talk to him about what happened, make sure he's OK and finally have some closure.
Her search leads her to the northern California mountain town called Virgin River. She finds her man, though hardly recognizable, and begins the last chapter of her healing process.
This is the 4th Virgin River book, though the time frame takes place approximately midway through the 3rd book, Whispering Rock. Marcie is a feisty little heroine and although she has been through the unthinkable she is a modern day Pollyanna. She never regretted that her husband came home to her half alive, instead she savored and embraced each second they were given.
Ian has his battle scars, but his emotional scars are what have him living a hermit like existence in the mountains. Taking one day at a time, he never stood a chance when Marcie came knocking on his door. Two people dealing with loss in very different ways, manage to find some common ground and help one another more than they anticipated.
This was a fantastic addition to the series. The scenes written about Bobby are painful to read. I had tears in my eyes, a lump in my throat and an ache in my heart.
