The only thing you would miss is knowing the story of some characters, but that knowledge is not essential to understanding the stories of Jo Marie and her guests.<br /><br />"Amusing and moving" are great adjectives for Macomber.Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-60078088140034231782012-08-14T12:18:50.414-04:002012-08-14T12:18:50.414-04:00PJ, I thought the idea of blending new characters ...PJ, I thought the idea of blending new characters with the attachment readers already have for Cedar Cove was smart marketing and good writing. It's lovely to hear that Debbie Macomber lives up to the image she projects.<br /><br />I don't know how the writing of TIARH fit with her personal loss, but I thought of her when I read some sections and whispered a prayer for her and her family.<br />Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-33478410551627591582012-08-14T12:14:29.031-04:002012-08-14T12:14:29.031-04:00Kathleen, that's a great description of what D...Kathleen, that's a great description of what Debbie Macomber does with her books. I'm a fan too.

It's great to have this review and assesment as a guide though.Quantumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686409685564115213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-54185113686254522442012-08-11T11:11:15.137-04:002012-08-11T11:11:15.137-04:00I'm looking forward to a return visit to Cedar...I'm looking forward to a return visit to Cedar Cove for this new series. I've been a loyal Macomber reader since the release of her first book for Silhouette in 1983. <br /><br />As Kathleen said, she has a way of getting into the hearts of the people she creates. They're the people next door, the ones we encounter in our every day lives that are much like us, the readers. We relate to their struggles, their pain, their joy, their failures and triumphs. <br /><br />I had the pleasure of meeting Debbie Macomber a couple years ago. It only took a few minutes of conversation to understand why I've enjoyed her books for so many years. She exudes the warmth, compassion, hope and joy that are a trademark of so many of her stories.pjpuppymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18234101901405553621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-35803604078824757462012-08-10T11:36:27.894-04:002012-08-10T11:36:27.894-04:00I am looking forward to this new series.

These people are people you may know, people who have been hurt or in pain of a lost love or are running away from life. But she also celebrates Love in all it's passion and romance. She writes aobut families, the highs and the lows of what we all go through with one another. How they sacrifice for the people they love, even though it hurts them in some way. This is something I can relate to... <br />I am a fan of a series of books. I love that I can go back an visit them like old friends.Kathleen Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10750925187927330976noreply@blogger.com
