“For you, it’s double,” Goldie said, pointing a finger in his direction.
They chatted excitedly as they indulged in pie and coffee.
“Say,” Jack said, licking the back of his fork. “Did any of you hear about the old letters found in that duplex on Evergreen Place?”
Everyone shrugged. “How’d you hear about it?” Grace asked.
“Mack McAfee was in this morning, wanting to read old issues of the Chronicle—from the 1940s. When I asked him why, he told me there was a box of letters hidden in one of the closets.”
“Did you learn anything relevant from the papers?”
“Not really. He had me read a couple of the letters, though. Interesting stuff,” Jack said.
“Evergreen Place?” Olivia repeated. “If anyone will remember, it’ll be my mother.”
Troy enthusiastically seconded that.
“I’ll suggest Mack speak to Charlotte, then,” Jack said.
With his free hand Troy reached for Faith’s. It felt good to sit here with friends, people he’d known all his life, and—especially—to share this moment with the woman he loved. The woman who would soon be his wife.
Next September, come back to Cedar Cove and to 1022 EVERGREEN PLACE.
You’ll want to find out how Mack McAfee and Mary Jo Wyse are doing. Will he tell her who her landlord really is? And will they get married? What about the World War II letters? Can they track down either the soldier or the recipient? And what’s David Rhodes up to?
Then there’s Lori and Linc. How do her parents feel about their marriage? Do you think Shirley will continue to warm toward Will? And Rachel’s pregnant—although Bruce and Jolene don’t know yet…What effect will that have on her family? These are only a few of the characters appearing in the next Cedar Cove book, 1022 EVERGREEN PLACE.
Don’t miss it in September 2010!
