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 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 Grove--people love it and sometimes they leave it, but they never forget it! See you soon... Olivia Explicit sex.

Thought this one would be a lot better. First novel by DM and sadly my last. Really didn't get into any of the characters. I thought they lacked emotion. Great story line idea, but just never went anywhere. I kept thinking something would happen, but it was a bore all the way through. NOT A FAN!!

I dont know what drew me to this series after all this time - but Iam so glad that I discovered it.
I now have a whole town of new friends - they're quirky and fun- but most of all human.
I have found myself laughing on one page and crying on the next- thats how attached I have become to these characters !!
If anyone has ever read Fannie Flagg they will enjoy Debbie just as much if not more
The only draw back is waiting for the next book!!

I thought this had a great story line idea. I liked the idea that a judge would try to help save a marriage, but was disappointed in the cursing and sexual content. I will not read any other books wrote by Debbie Macomber.
Reviewer: Jodie
There is lots of cursing and sexual content in this book. I don't buy books like this. I returned all the books from Debbie Macomber. I wanted a "Christian" book series to read and that's not what it was.

I am in LOVE with the Cedar Cove series. It was easy to connect with the characters and get attached. The biggest problem was putting the book down. Now, the worst part is waiting for the next book to come out. Anything Debbie Macomber writes is fantastic. I would recommend her to anyone who loves a great story!
