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?

About the author: Deborah Raney's books have won numerous awards, including the RITA, National Readers Choice Award, HOLT Medallion, and the Carol Award, and have twice been Christy Award finalists. She and her husband, Ken, recently traded small-town life in Kansas---the setting of many of Deborah's novels---for life in the (relatively) big city of Wichita, where they enjoy gardening, antiquing, movies, and traveling to visit four children and a growing brood of grandchildren who all live much too far away.

My Review:

I really enjoyed Deborah's first novel in this series, "Home to Chicory Lane," as it is a story filled with relatable characters and every-day experiences and issues.  Audrey and Grant are a sweet couple whom have raised their children and believe themselves to be empty-nesters and have converted their home into an inn; however things do not go exactly as planned.  Audrey and Grant have raised their children to be successful and have given them a solid foundation and continue to be a support to each of them.  This couple is a wonderful example of Christian parents and I could see my own parents in them. This is a story that is really easy to get drawn into and a series that can go in so many directions as there are so many members of the family that could have their own stories shared.  I highly recommend this book, you will not be disappointed!
