The Best of Us

Robyn Carr, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Sullivan's Crossing, has created a community where the essential components of a happy life are nice people, strong emotions, great comedy, and a fair dosage of common sense. People who are in Sullivan's Crossing are at their best. You will want to return there time and time again.

Leigh Culver, MD, enjoys his work as a physician in Timberlake, Colorado. She really needs a break from her hectic life in Chicago, and this is it. The only negative is that, having been reared by her aunt Helen, she misses her. But now that Leigh is independent, she hopes her aunt will come visit frequently because of how beautiful the Colorado backcountry is.

The self-reliant Helen Culver nurtured her sister's orphaned child with love. Now that Leigh is an adult, it is her time to pursue her own interests. The retired teacher is now a lucrative mystery writer who aspires to never experience cold again and enjoys traveling.

Helen is shocked to learn that her niece still needs Helen when she visits Leigh, particularly when it comes to helping her figure out her romantic life. The biggest surprise, though, is when Leigh takes Helen to Sullivan's Crossing, where she immediately falls in love with both the area and a particular someone. Leigh and Helen will need to determine whether or not they can allow love into their lives, something neither of them anticipated, and take advantage of the chance to live their best lives.
