The Grace Valley Trilogy by Robyn Carr follows Dr. June Hudson, a family physician in the small Northern California town of Grace Valley. Deep in the Valley (2000) introduces June and the close-knit community she cares for, while Just Over the Mountain (2002) and Down by the River (2003) continue her story as she navigates both professional challenges and her personal life.
This trilogy was an early example of the small-town romance format that Carr would later refine with her much longer Virgin River series. Grace Valley has a similar feel: a tight community where everyone knows each other, where secrets surface slowly, and where love finds people when they least expect it. Readers who enjoy Virgin River may want to revisit this earlier series to see where Carr first developed the approach.
