In Langhorne, Missouri, since their five children have left the
nest empty, compulsive Audrey Whitman persuades her retired husband Grant to
convert their home into a B&B though their adult offspring have doubts just
like their dad has. The children dislike
the idea of strangers in their home and their father worries over their lack of
experience and the long hours to run the place.
On the day they open up Chicory Inn for business, their spoiled
youngest daughter Landyn Spencer arrives with a U-Haul trailer attached to her
car. Landyn explains she left her
husband of a few months Chase the artist for making unilateral decisions
without consulting her. She further
explains to her parents she will stay at the family home and help by marketing
the inn. Meanwhile in New York, unsure
what to do Chase remains mentally paralyzed that his wife left him without a
word.
The grand opening of the Chicory Inn series is an enjoyable family
drama with the Landyn and Chase relationship as the prime plot. Though I doubt Grant would acquiesce to
renovating their home to run an inn and would prefer more insight into the operational
side of preparing, managing and operating the business, this is a warm second
chance (if New York and Missouri communicate) Christian tale.
