About this audiobook

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr comes the story of four friends determined to find their stride

Gerri can't decide what's more devastating: learning her rock-solid marriage has big cracks, or the anger she feels as she tries to repair them. Always the anchor for friends and her children, she realizes it's time to look carefully at herself. The journey is more than revealing—it's transforming.

Andy has come to believe that a lasting love is out of reach. When she finds herself attracted to a man without any of the qualities that usually appeal to her, she questions everything she thought she wanted in life.

Sonja's New Age pursuit of balance is shattered when her husband walks out. There's no herbal tonic or cleansing ritual that can restore her serenity—or her sanity.

Miraculously, it's BJ, the newcomer to Mill Valley, who steps into their circle and changes everything. The woman with dark secrets opens up to her neighbors, and together they get back on track, stronger as individuals and unfaltering as friends.

Look for What We Find by Robyn Carr, a powerful story of healing, new beginnings and one woman's journey to finding the happiness she's long been missing. Order your copy today!

Ratings and reviews

Audiobook review: Performance – 4 Story – 5 Overall – 5 I loved this book and I couldn’t stop listening once I started it. If you love Robyn Carr’s Virgin River series do not expect this book to be like those. I love that series so much but they are what I would call Contemporary Romances; I would classify Four Friends as Women’s Fiction. It deals with some pretty heavy subject matter but so does real life and this story felt very realistic to me. If you’ve read the blurb you already know that Gerri’s marriage has big problems. Some readers will fail to understand how Gerri could ever forgive Phil but I know people who have been through it and survived. Several aspects of Gerri’s story really resonated with me. I liked that this book was about more mature characters, even though some of them didn’t always act their age. The blurb really gives you all of the details you need but it can’t convey the depth of the story. I wasn’t really prepared for the emotional reaction I had to a lot of the things that were dealt with. I have family members who suffer from clinical depression so what happened to Sonja really tore me up. I’ve listened to several other Robyn Carr books narrated by Therese Plummer and I’ve enjoyed all of them. This one bothered me just a bit because I had trouble distinguishing some of the male characters from each other. Fortunately, the way the story was written helped me with that. I had recently finished listening to the excellent Return to Virgin River and when a couple of the male characters in this story spoke, I kept hearing Jack from that book. This isn’t the fault of the narrator, it’s not possible for any narrator to have unlimited voices. As it is, I’m amazed at how well Ms. Plummer does male voices. What the experience taught me though, is that I should allow more than a couple of days between books if I’m going to listen to another one performed by the same narrator. 😊 A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me by the publisher but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.
