Each Sunday “Inspired by Life…and Fiction” shares a Christian novelist’s newest book and the garden spots where they find inspiration.
Deborah Raney enjoys writing in the gardens tended by her artist husband, Ken. The Raneys recently moved to the city after many years at their little house on the prairie in small-town Kansas. They are enjoying the challenge of city gardening and love hosting their four kids and a growing brood of grandchildren. A Vow to Cherish, Deb’s first novel, was the inspiration for the World Wide Pictures award-winning film of the same title. She’s now working on her thirtieth novel and her newest, Two Roads Home, the second in her Chicory Inn Novels series, will release in June 2015. Visit Deb’s website at www.deborahraney.com.

Beautiful, Deb . Just absolutely beautiful!
Thank you, Shirley! My hubby is the chief gardener and landscaper. I love weeding and watering, but he’s the brains of the operation. 🙂
Love the country garden in the city (city for you, that is)! I can see it is going to really bloom as things grow. We take what we love with us and adapt it and it looks great.
Congrats on the new book!
Thanks so much, Sandy. We really are enjoying turning this yard into a haven.
Wow! I never thought to make a shade garden under my porch. I love it.
It’s such a cool and cozy place to sit in the evenings. And I’ve been surprised at all the plants that seem to thrive with very little sun. (Best of all, the weeds seem to NEED sun. So win/win!)
