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.</b> 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. 3481898 book 1 11 2008 A Virgin River Christmas (Virgin River, #4) total:204|5:67|4:81|3:48|2:7|1:1| 204 818 312 42 4 6 false false Wed Oct 29 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 15 13:21:43 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 13:47:54 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 6 false false Mon Oct 27 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 15 09:18:51 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 27 08:07:54 -0700 2008
