Bailey Flanigan is a four-book spinoff from Karen Kingsbury’s Baxter Family universe. The series follows Bailey Flanigan, a character introduced in the earlier Firstborn and Sunrise series, as she leaves home to pursue her dreams. Leaving (2011) sets her journey in motion, with Learning (2011), Longing (2011), and Loving (2012) tracing her growth.
The series focuses on Bailey’s romantic life, particularly her relationships with Cody Coleman and Brandon Paul, while exploring themes of independence, faith, and finding where you belong. Readers familiar with the Baxter Family will recognize many returning characters.
