Home To Chicory Lane – Book Review
When you raise five children and they finally leave the nest, it’s time to finally pursue a few dreams of your own.
For Audrey Whitman and her husband Grant, those dreams involve transforming their beloved family home into the Chicory Inn – a 5500 square-foot Bed and Breakfast just outside the quaint little town of Langhorn, Missouri.
They can hardly wait for opening weekend to arrive. Audrey only hopes that nothing goes wrong.
And then – her youngest daughter arrives.
Newlywed Landyn – a bride of six months – has driven in from New York with a U-Haul – but no husband in tow! What could have happened between Landyn and Chase that would have sent Landyn back home – and how will Landyn’s arrival impact Audrey and Grant’s dream?
If you love reading stories about the real-life struggles families of faith face and seeing how the characters you come to care about resolve them – then pick up a copy of Home To Chicory Lane!
Home To Chicory Lane by Deborah Raney is the first book in the new Chicory Inn series from Abingdon Press. You’ll enjoy meeting the Whitman family and anticipating which of the wonderful characters you’ll be reading about in subsequent books!
Since reading a book is always better when you have someone to discuss it with, there’s a Discussion Guide in the back if you’d like to share Home To Chicory Lane with a friend or Book Club!
This enjoyable novel provides a promising start to Deborah’s new series!
I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
