In Back Home Again: Tales from the Grace Chapel Inn by Melody Carlson, Alice Howard is a middle-aged single woman who has lived with her father in the old family home for years. Now her father has passed away, and her sisters have come home for the funeral. The house has been left to the three of them equally, and as they discuss what to do with it, they hit upon the idea of converting it to a bed-and-breakfast.
Their first obstacle is a meddling aunt and small-town resistance to anything new. Then, the three sisters are so different, and two of them in particular disagree over every little aspect. Alice tries to be a peacemaker between her two sisters and her family and the town.
The sisters, their aunt, and the town learn to come together, forgive, and give each other the benefit of the doubt.
This is the first book in a series of over thirty, authored by various writers. A light, pleasant read.

This sounds like such a good read that I went to Amazon and it is only $0.99 on the Kindle. 🙂 It will be something light to pick up here and there while I’m working in the kitchen. Thank you for the review, Barbara.
Oh, that’s good! I hope you enjoy it! I’d like to find more in the series, but I don’t know about reading all 30+. 🙂
I think I read a Melody Carlson book once but i can’t remember the title. This is the first in 30 books?? wow!! sounds good.
She has written a ton of them. I think I’ve mostly read her Christmas-related ones so far.
30+ in the series? Oh my. I really enjoy Melody Carlson but boy don’t know if I could get through that many
