Back Home Again - Tales from Grace Chapel Inn - Book 1

Once you visit the charming village of Acorn Hill, tucked away in rural Pennsylvania, you’ll never want to leave. Townsfolk relax on their porch swings or gather to discuss the day’s events at the Coffee Shop over homemade pie. It’s the kind of town where friendship and faith flow together like a wide river on a fine spring day.

And you’ll love spending time with the Howard sisters who have begun a new life together in their childhood home, a gracious Victorian house that is now a bed-and-breakfast called Grace Chapel Inn. Here they rekindle old memories and rediscover the bonds of sisterhood, revel in the blessings of friendship and meet many fascinating guests along the way.

Back Home Again– Book 1

Journey with us to Acorn Hill where the Howards sisters reunite after their beloved father's death, and find they share an inheritance of their childhood home. Initially, the sisters have different views on how to use their father's gift. But all three sisters come together and remember home as a place where their curiosity was encouraged, and their dreams fostered, and this memory inspires them in their decision to convert their childhood home into a bed and breakfast, lovingly named Grace Chapel Inn. When guests of the inn meet these special sisters, they have an overwhelming sense that they have arrived home. And so will you.
