Chicory Inn Books in Order

The Chicory Inn novels center on Audrey and Grant Whitman, empty nesters who turn their beloved Missouri home into a bed-and-breakfast. They hope the inn will be the beginning of a quieter, shared dream after raising five children. Instead, opening the doors gives every grown child a reason to come home with a problem.

Home to Chicory Lane begins as Audrey prepares for the inn's first big weekend. Her daughter Landyn arrives from New York with a moving truck and no husband in sight, and Audrey must balance the demands of a new business with the instinct to protect her child. That mix sets the pattern for the series.

At Chicory Inn, family news rarely waits for a convenient moment.

The next books shift attention among the Whitman children and their spouses. Two Roads Home follows Corinne and Jesse as stress, work pressure, and a damaging accusation strain their marriage. Another Way Home focuses on Danae and Dallas as they disagree about how to build the family they want. Later installments keep returning to the inn as a place where people regroup, share meals, and sometimes say the thing they have avoided saying.

Langhorne, Missouri matters because it feels lived in. The inn is not just a backdrop for romance. It is a working home, a family gathering place, and a reminder that the Whitmans' adult children still need their parents in new ways. Audrey and Grant remain central, but they cannot solve every problem for their children.

This is a warm family drama with faith, marriage troubles, new babies, work setbacks, and second chances. The books work best in order because relationships and earlier struggles continue to matter. Start with Home to Chicory Lane, then follow the family as the inn becomes the place they return to when life gets messy.
