Introduction: 16 Lighthouse Road (Cedar Cove #1) 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 ou 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 ... Olivia...
