204 Rosewood Lane by Debbie Macomber

Another good book.  Cedar Cove is a neat little town with much going on.  In this, the second book in the series, there is death, divorce and babies.  With all of that comes complications, deception and deeper understanding of others and themselves.  Macomber writes in a way that makes you feel apart of the town.  I     was disappointed in the ending and really need to get my hands on the next one to see how Macomber resolves some of these issues!(NOOK)

Dreams of Joy by Lisa See

Another wonderful story by See.  This continued the story from Shanghai Girls and it was great!!  Joy had been very upset and went to China to find her father.  From there she traveled with him, ended up on a commune and did get married.  Pearl went to find her and had to be very patient, bend to the new rules of the time and ended up living in her old family home.  Much happened over the few years they were there, some of it quite shocking.  Knowing that this is historical fiction, it really stopped me in my tracks with some of the events that occurred.  See does a great job making the history come alive and really make you think about things that happened during that time period.

16 Lighthouse Road by Debbie Macomber

In Cedar Cove you cannot help but fall in love with this town and the people.  Some of the happenings include a couple who wants a divorce that is denied, a couple that had been married for years and her husband disappears, a new relationship blooms with secrets and others learn about themselves and find out what they really want and are capable of.  Macomber does a wonderful job weaving a tale and pulling you into these people's lives.  I cannot wait to continue with this series.
