Publisher Description
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. However, the sleepy town of Acorn Hill is in for quite a surprise. After Daniel Howard, the adored minister of Grace Chapel, passes away, his three spirited daughters come home to remember their father, and find out that each has inherited a share of his run-down Victorian house. As the three wander through rooms rich with childhood memories, Louise dreams of a small music conservatory where she can give lessons, and Alice thinks the house would be perfect for a youth ministry. Jane would like to open a restaurant. The squabbling begins . . . as does a brilliant solution to the sisters’ dilemma. Grace Chapel Inn—a unique bed and breakfast—is born, and a new life begins for them all.

"A wholesome story about 3 sisters who find each other again after the death of their father, who happened to be a pastor. Well written but had many similaities to another series I have read "Dearest Dorothy", which was much better. Not sure if I will continue to read any more in this series, I think there is a total of 13."

" What can I say I absolutely adored this book and now am really sad as the other books are so difficult to get a hold of and also so expensive ! So please to have been introduced to the town of Grace Chapel and to meet Alice, Louise and Jane and their adventures turning the family home into an Inn. "

" I enjoyed the entire series of Grace Chapel Inn, but none so much as the first. I love old Victorian houses, so the "fixing up" was fun ... the reunion of sisters ... the overtones of a religion that is lived, not preached ... I truly enjoyed this first book. "
