Olivia Lockhart
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 my mother’s view, young Cecilia and Ian Randall hadn’t tried hard enough to make their marriage work-and I actually agreed. So I rendered my judgment: 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
Olivia
