Cedar Cove has always been one of my favorite places for a vicarious visit and this latest installment was no exception. The characters we have come to know so well are all in town and dealing with the joys and problems that keep their world turning.
This book deals in large part with two of the characters who are pregnant. Rachel Peyton of 1105 Yakima Street is having so much trouble dealing with her stepdaughter Jolene that she decides, for the sake of her unborn baby, to leave her husband Bruce. Meanwhile, Gloria Ashton is dealing with single motherhood and facing the ordeal of telling Dr. Chad Timmons he is the father of her child.
In addition to these main story lines, we have Olivia and Will coping with the aging problems of Charlotte and Ben, Grace learning to love again, Linc and Lori coming to terms with her parents, and updates on Nate, Roy, Corrie, Linnette, Mack, Mary Jo, Terri, Christie, James, Shirley, Miranda, and more. New to the scene is Beth Morehouse, dog trainer and Christmas tree farm owner, who happens to live at 1225 Christmas Tree Lane which is also the title of the next and final installment in this cozy series.
If you're a fan of the Cedar Cove series, I think you will find this installment as enjoyable as all the others and a good way to sit down and catch up with all your favorites.
