Book Description:
Olivia Lockhart
16 Lighthouse Road
Cedar Cove, Washington
Dear Reader,
You don't know me yet, but in a few hours that's going to change. You see, I'm inviting you to my home and my town of Cedar Cove because I want you to meet my family, friends, and neighbors. Come and hear their stories -- maybe even their secrets!
I have to admit that my own secrets are pretty open. My marriage failed some years ago, and I have a rather . . . difficult relationship with my daughter, Justine. Then there's my mother, Charlotte, who has plenty of opinions and is always willing to share them.
Here's an example: I'm a family court judge and she likes to drop in on my courtroom. Recently I was hearing a divorce petition. In Charlotte's view, young Cecilia and Ian Randall hadn't tried hard enough to make their marriage work -- and I agreed. So I rendered my judgement: Divorce Denied.
Well, you wouldn't believe the reaction! Thanks to an article by Jack Griffin, the editor of our local paper (and a man I wouldn't mind seeing more of!), everyone's talking.
Cedar Cove -- people love it and sometimes they leave it, but they never forget it!
See you soon . . .

Perennial favorite Debbie Macomber does what she does best in 16 Lighthouse Road, introducing fans to the scenic Pacific Northwest town of Cedar Cove, Washington, and its panoply of characters, including family court judge Olivia Lockhart who makes news when she denies the divorce petition of Cecilia and Ian Randall. Decreeing that the young couple had not tried hard enough to make their relationship work following the tragic death of their newborn daughter, Olivia's decision brings her to the attention of recent Cedar Cove arrival, newspaper editor Jack Griffin. And Jack's attentions are not entirely unwelcome for the long-divorced Olivia. In addition to her continued involvement in Cecilia and Ian's ongoing negotiations, Olivia's life is further complicated by her mother, Charlotte, her daughter, Justine, and her best friend, Grace, as they struggle with the difficult situations life tosses their way. Charlotte becomes enmeshed in trying to solve a mystery left to her by a mute stroke victim she befriends just before he dies. Justine has found the perfect man for her, one who shares her ambitions and thoughts on relationships, but why does she keep thinking about the boy she knew in high school who has grown into quite a man? And Grace's husband, Dan, has disappeared--again--and Grace has no idea where he is and when or if he'll be back. The multiple story lines and numerous relationships make reading at times challenging, but Macomber fans, old and new, will stand up and cheer as the prolific author lodges her protest against the disposable personal relationships all too common today. --Alison Trinkle

The book that launched the series in the quaint town of Cedar Cove. Let me first say that I've read every book in the series and if you like light, breezy reads, this is the series for you. The first book introduces the couple of Ian and Cecila, who after a child birth grow distant and mutually agree to divorce ... but not so fast. There is a judge named Olivia Lockheart who denies the application and believes grief is the reason for the divorce - and believes these two still love each other so they ... Read More

This is the first of Macomber's 'Cedar Cove' series. If you love the Pacific Northwest, not necessarily Seattle, but Puget Sound and the small hamlets that surround it, this series is for you. The larger world is just outside, and her characters like to visit the bigger cities, they just dont want to live there. The characters,on the face of it, are every day people, but as you get to know them, the details of their lives draw you in. The characters range in age from misunderstood pre adolescents to ...

Having read several of Debbie Macomber's books, I added this one to my reading list. I enjoyed it as much as all the others. She writes well and I soon was hooked on the various characters and could hardly put the book down until I learned their fates.
