Two Roads Home: A Chicory Inn Novel – Book 2 by Deborah Raney

Two Roads Home is book 2 and follows the story of the oldest girl Corinne and her husband Jesse. Throughout the book, you do read about her other 2 sisters and her parents who own the Chicory Inn; but the main emphasis is on Corinne and her family. Her husband has a major conflict at work and has to decide how to handle it with Gods help and his wife’s acceptance and support.

The writing was good and kept me interested and engaged. The conflicts mentioned in the book with family relationships, marriage, uncertainty, being unsettled, work relationships- they were all real life struggles and concerns that anyone could relate to, myself included.

The only thing that bothered me about the book was the moms attitude with having to help her daughters babysit or letting them visit at the Inn because she wanted to focus mostly on getting guests and keeping the Inn clean. It’s not a big deal and I would still recommend the book and read it again; but it did annoy me because I feel family relationships are more important than work or a clean house.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from LitFuse Publicity in exchange for an honest review on my blog and social media-all opinions are my own.

About the book:
What if it’s too late for dreams to come true?

Minor—but-nagging setbacks continue to sour Grant and Audrey Whitman’s initiation into the world of innkeeping, but larger challenges brew when an innocent flirtation leads to big trouble for the Whitmans’ son-in-law, Jesse. Jesse Pennington’s friendly, outgoing personality has always served him well, especially in a career that has earned him and his wife Corinne a very comfortable lifestyle. But Corinne and Jesse are both restless—and for similar reasons, if only they could share those with each other. Instead, too many business trips and trumped-up charges of harassment from a disgruntled coworker threaten their marriage and possibly put their three precious daughters at risk.

With their life in disarray, God is tugging at their hearts to pursue other dreams. Can Corinne and Jesse pick up the pieces of what was once a wonderful life before it all crumbles beneath them?

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.
