In the premiere season of this drama based on Debbie Macomber's book series of the same name, small-town judge and divorcée Olivia Lockhart (Andie MacDowell) considers leaving her coastal hometown in Washington state and accepting a federal judgeship. Jack Griffith (Dylan Neal), a big-city reporter who's new in town, prepares a story about this, but Olivia soon finds herself turning down the promotion and striking up a romance with Jack. However, things get complicated when Olivia's ex-husband (Andrew Airlie) reenters the picture, and Jack considers a job offer in Philadelphia. Meanwhile, Olivia's daughter, Justine (Sarah Smyth), also has a complex romantic life, which involves a marriage proposal from land developer Warren (Brennan Elliott) and a reunion with her old high-school sweetheart, Seth (Cory Sevier).
It's about a small town and people's daily lives with events, challenges, love, loss, betrayal, good, bad, adventures, family, friendships, relationships, community coming together, and much more. I loved it and went back to find season 2, and my son went online to find season 3 for me. I was disappointed to see that it was the last one.
