Books like Back Home Again (The Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series #1) by Melody Carlson


After the death of minister Daniel Howard, his three daughters—Louise, Alice, and Jane—return to their childhood home in Acorn Hill, Pennsylvania, to honor their father’s memory and to find that each has inherited a share of his run‑down Victorian house. Each sister envisions a different future for the home: Louise dreams of a music conservatory, Alice sees a youth ministry, and Jane longs to open a restaurant. Their spirited debates soon give way to a creative solution that unites their plans: the birth of the Grace Chapel Inn, a unique bed‑and‑breakfast that serves as a new chapter for the family, a source of community, and a testament to faith and sisterhood in the heart of the town.
