Book Reviews of Deep in the Valley (Grace Valley Trilogy, Book 1)
Book Review: MAKE THAT 5 + - GRACE VALLEY TRILOGY - SERIES 1
Summary: 5 Stars
Grace Valley Trilogy - Series 1 - #1 Deep in the Valley - #2 Just Over the Mountain - #3 Down By the River - Series 2 is the Virgin River Trilogy.
I love the characters: from Grace Valley, California.
Dr. June Hudson, 37 - her bioligical clock is ticking - probably from delivering too many babies for other couples.
Elmer "Doc" Hudson, 70 - June's father and semi-retired.
Jessica Wiley, 20 and strangely dressed works in the clinic office.
Charlotte Burnham is the practical nurse and a bit sour.
Dr. John Stone, 40 - well to do - married a second time to Susan with a 6 year old daughter - ex-wife trying to ruin his life.
Oh Yeah! Chief of Police Tom Toopeek, 37, married Ursala with 5 children. His father is Lincoln Toopeek married to Philana - Native Americans.
Tom is a very close childhood friend of Junes - has 15 year old daughter, Tanya - 14 year old son, Johnny.
His deputies are Lee Stafford, 30 and married - Ricky Rios, 30 and married. Ricky's mother is part of the quilting bee.
Gus Craven, 40 is abusive to his wife, Leah,33, a Grace Valley native and their children. Oldest son, Frank is going to cause trouble.
Judge and Birdie Forrest - the Judge doesn't want to see Gus again in court or else. [seems like June had a high-school crush on their son, Chris].
Sam Cusslar, 70 - has the gas station and when he isn't pumping gas he is out fishing.
Jerry Powell is the county's psychologist and head shrink and June needs him to go with Tom and her to the Mull homestead [more like a shack] up in the mountains. Clarence Mull carries a gun like all of the mountain people.
And wonderful, eccentric, Myrna Mae Hudson, Doc's sister who raise him when their parents died some 68 years ago. Myrna was 14 and Elmer was 2 at the time. She never married until her 40's to Morton Claypool, who just walked away and disappeared one day 17 years ago. She has been writing Gothic novels about wives who kill their husbands and bury them in the back yard.
When the people asked what happened to Morton she just smiles and says she doesn't want to discuss it.
Oh yes! and there is Burt Crandall and his wife Syl who own and run the bakery. The police, June at the clinic and a couple of others get free coffee and a baked goods from Burt.
And June was held at gun point when asked to tend to a wounded man, that is when she meets Jim.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED [and I normally want more action] but this trilogy is one of the best out - followed by the Virgin River trilogy with June and John making appearances - then we have, coming in November - A Virgin River Christmas -- more to come.
Summary of Deep in the Valley (Grace Valley Trilogy, Book 1)
Welcome to Grace Valley, California?where blood runs thicker?ties are stronger?and love is all the more sweetVisitors to the town often remark about the valley's peace and beauty?both of which are plentiful. Unlocked doors, front porches, pies cooling in the windows?this is country life at its finest. But visitors don't always see what lies at the heart of a community. Or just beyond?
June Hudson grew up in Grace Valley, the daughter of the town doctor. Leaving only to get her medical training, she returned home and followed in her father's footsteps. Some might say she chose the easy, comfortable route?but June knows better.
For June, her emergency room is wherever she's needed?or wherever a patient finds her. She is always on call, her work is her life and these people are her extended family. Which is a good thing, since this is a town where you should have picked your husband in the ninth grade. Grace Valley is not exactly the place to meet eligible men?until an undercover DEA agent suddenly starts appearing at all sorts of strange hours.
Everybody has secrets down in the valley. Now June has one of her own.
