Grant and Audrey are adding grandchildren to their family left and right, but middle daughte, Danae, and her husband, Dallas Brooks, have been trying for years with no baby in sight.
Though Danae is ready to consider adoption, Dallas will not even discuss it. Despairing of ever having a family of her own, Danae decides to pour her passion and energies into volunteer work with a newly opened women’s shelter in town. Looking for a good cause to fill her lonely days, she never expects to give her heart to the hurting women she meets there. She’s finally learning to live her life with gratitude, but then heart-wrenching events on Thanksgiving weekend threaten to pull the entire Whitman clan into turmoil—and leave them all forever changed.
Another Way Home is the best book in the Chicory Inn series so far! I love what Raney’s done with the characters. Danae and Dallas are the most realistic characters to date. They’re real and transparent and hurting, yet they’re trying incredibly hard to follow after God. I love that aspect of this story.
Danae’s struggle made Another Way Home real for me. I appreciate the way that she fought selfish desires in her marriage, the way that she tried hard to find the good in days that seemed to have none. Danae hung in there and looked for blessings and changed her outlook, and that’s the kind of character that I want to read about.
Raney leaves a great hook at the end of the story for the next book, too. I’m looking forward to reading that story more than any of the others in this series. Raney’s really hit her stride with these characters, and I look forward to seeing what comes next.
I received a free copy of Another Way Home from LitFuse Publicity in exchange for an honest review.
