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.
The first book in Deborah Raney's new Chicory Inn
series, Home to Chicory Lane,
introduces us to Audrey Whitman, a mother who has launched all her
children into life and now looks forward to fulfilling some of her own
dreams during her empty-nest years. However, not all of her children are
ready to stay out of the nest quite yet.

My Thoughts: Deborah
did a great job creating these characters. Audrey and Grant are as hard
headed as they come. Landyn and Chase are so incredibly stubborn it's
no wonder they are in the situation they get themselves in.
When Landyn arrives back in Missouri Grant treats her like she is 2 not an adult.
Audrey
is so wrapped up in the inn she has spent their retirement on that she
clearly forgets that when you are a parent your child is more important
than a room.
This is a great book! I was up late reading it. The family dynamics pull at your heart strings, and keep you reading.
I am glad that this is the first book in the series, and I will be able to revisit Chicory Lane again.
