Cecilia and Ian Randall have been married a year and she is filing for a divorce. When their child was born prematurely Ian was on submarine duty under the polar cap. The child had died and was buried before Ian learned what had happened. His response to the news was not what Cecilia needed. Judge Olivia Lockhart listened to the attorneys for Cecilia and Ian, considered carefully what they wanted from her and then gave her ruling. She declined to dissolve their marriage. Her recommendation was counseling and possibly reconciliation.
Judge Lockhart's mother, Charlotte Jefferson, befriended a stroke victim who is unable to talk. Certainly she had no idea how this friendship would impact her life.
Charlotte also became friends with the newspaper editor who is dating her daughter, the family court judge. When Jack decides to attract the senior readers in Cedar Cove, Charlotte is the natural choice to write the column.
The town librarian, Grace Sherman, is devastated when her thirty-four year marriage seems to crumble and then her husband, Dan, disappeared.
At the same time, Olivia's daughter Justine is dating a man old enough to be her father. Is it a relationship of convenience or is there really romance involved? Olivia doesn't know. Neither does Justine.
