Grace Sherman
204 Rosewood Lane
Cedar Cove, Washington Dear Reader, If you've been to Cedar Cove before we've probably met. You can usually, find me either at home or at the public library, where I work. I've lived in this town all my life and raised two daughters here. But my husband and I -- well, about six months ago, he disappeared. Just . . . disappeared. Where's Dan? Why did he go? Who's he with? Will I ever find out? My hometown, my family and friends, bring me comfort during this difficult time. Comfort and a sense of shelter. I'm continually reminded that life can and does go on. For instance, everyone's been discussing weddings and babies lately. Justine -- the only daughter of my best friend, Olivia Lockhart -- impulsively got married a little while ago. My own daughter Kelly recently had, a baby. Unfortunately, she refuses to accept that Dan might not return to see his first grandchild. My older daughter, Maryellen, is more realistic. I think she's seeing a new man, but for some reason she won't tell me who it is. Then there's Jack, who's been pursuing a romance with Olivia, and his son, Eric, and Eric's girlfriend, Shelly (I think she's pregnant), and Zach and Rosemary Cox, whose marriage is reputedly on the skids and . . . Well, just come on over and we'll talk! Grace |
I spent another day in Cedar Cove and I didn't want to come back. I can't get enough of this town.
So many things going on. Where is Dan? He still hasn't come home! Grace decides to get a divorce, since it has been six months. Cliff starts to hang around more.

Olivia's girls are busy having children, but Maryellen tries to hide it from Jon. Will they get together? Who is the mystery man that showed up at the B & B? Find out all this and more in the second installment of our favorite town, Cedar Cove!!!
Run, don't walk to get it! |
In book two, the characters we've come to enjoy and the lives they lead are back. In this chapter Grace is trying to return to normal life but when a report comes in about her husband Dan, that goal is quickly dismissed. But the is only the beginning of what 204 Rosewood Lane has to offer. What about Rosie and Zach's divorce? There are many character's lives we're involved with in Deb Macomber's quaint series about life in the small town of Cedar Cove. As always, her books and story development are top notch. While her characters are fresh, vivid, and full of spunk.
