{More about Home at Last}
Home at Last (Abingdon, February 2017)Why did their differences matter so much?
Link Whitman has settled into the role of bachelor without ever intending to. Now he’s stuck in a dead-end job and, as the next Whitman wedding fast approaches, he is the last one standing. The pressure from his sisters’ efforts to play matchmaker is getting hard to bear as Link pulls extra shifts at work, and helps his parents at the Chicory Inn.
All her life, Shayla Michaels has felt as if she straddled two worlds. Her mother’s white family labeled her African American father with names Shayla didn’t repeat in polite–well, in any company. Her father’s family disapproved as well, though they eventually embraced Shayla as their own. After the death of her mother, and her brother Jerry’s incarceration, life has left Shayla’s father bitter, her niece, Portia, an orphan, and Shayla responsible for them all. She knows God loves them all, but why couldn’t people accept each other for what was on the inside? For their hearts?
Everything changes one icy morning when a child runs into the street and Link nearly hits her with his pickup. Soon he is falling in love with the little girl’s aunt, Shayla, the beautiful woman who runs Coffee’s On, the bakery in Langhorne. Can Shayla and Link overcome society’s view of their differences and find true love? Is there hope of changing the sometimes-ugly world around them into something better for them all?

My review:
"Home at Last" by author Deborah Raney is another book in her A Chicory Inn Novel series. Shayla Michaels has a African American father and a white mother. After her mother dies things just get even harder for her. She even starts to take care of her niece because there is no one else left in their family that can. Link Whitman is a man whose family is trying to get him settled in his life. He does not really want a relationship. Shayla meets Link when he almost hits her niece with his car one day. Link helps his parents at Chicory Inn and Shayla runs a coffee shop. Will they be able to eventually start to feel something for each other without other people's feelings getting in the way? Can they ever be able to do something for themselves instead of others? How will they change other's beliefs? Can their faith help them through? I really enjoyed this story. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for a review by Litfuse Publicity Group and all opinions are mine.
