About the Book

Landyn longs for home, but her mother may have other plans.
Audrey Whitman's dreams are coming true. Now that their five kids are grown, she and her husband, Grant, are turning their beloved family home into a cozy bed and breakfast just a mile outside of Langhorne, Missouri.
Opening weekend makes Audrey anxious, with family and friends coming from all over to help celebrate the occasion. But when Audrey's daughter, Landyn, arrives, the U-Haul she's pulling makes it clear she's not just here for a few days. Audrey immediately has questions. What happened in New York that sent Landyn running home? Where was Landyn's husband, Chase? And what else was her daughter not telling her? One thing was for sure, the Chicory Inn was off to a rocky start. Can Audrey still realize her dream and at the same time provide the comfort of home her daughter so desperately needs?
Home to Chicory Lane delightfully begins
Deborah Raney’s new Chicory Inn series and offers a sweet story of a loving, inviting
family. Grant and Audrey Whitman decide to transform their family home into a
cozy bed-and-breakfast inn to relaxingly enjoy their empty nest and retirement.
Yet, life as inn owners proves more challenging than the couple anticipated –
especially when their youngest daughter, Landyn, returns home alone from New
York indefinitely. The novel alternates between the perspectives of Grant,
Audrey, Landyn and Landyn’s new husband, Chase, and as their storylines
intertwine, Raney addresses themes of family, dreams and learning to trust and
follow God’s plan and direction. Home to
Chicory Lane is a quick, heartwarming narrative, and I would recommend it
for fans of contemporary family novels. I enjoyed reading it and look forward
to seeing more of the Whitman family in the future.
