Olivia Lockhart <BR>Cedar Cove, Washington<BR><BR>Dear Reader, You don't know me yet, but in a few hours that's going to change.<BR><BR>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!<BR><BR>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 <I>always</I> willing to share them.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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), <I>everyone's</I> talking.<BR><BR>Cedar Cove?people love it and sometimes they leave it, but they never forget it!<BR><BR>See you soon?<BR><BR>Olivia
