Publisher's summary

Father Tim and Cynthia have been at home in Mitford for three years since returning from Whitecap Island.

In the little town that's home-away-from-home to millions of readers, life hums along as usual. Dooley looks toward his career as a vet; Joe Ivey and Fancy Skinner fight a haircut price war that takes no prisoners; and Percy steps out on a limb with a risky new menu item at the Main Street Grill.

Though Father Tim dislikes change, he dislikes retirement even more. As he and Cynthia gear up for a year-long ministry across the state line, a series of events sends shock waves through his faith, and the whole town of Mitford.

In her seventh novel in the best-selling Mitford Years series, Jan Karon delivers surprises of every kind, including the return of the man in the attic and an ending that no one in Mitford will ever forget.

Abrupt ending

This is not the first book in this series that ends abruptly. And it's well into next book that you get a hint of the cliffhanger from previous book. Lots of repetition. I loved the first 3 in the series but now paying a lot for what is just a short story.

Unbelievably well done by both author and narrator

I, like so many others who have enjoyed this series, don’t want the end to ever come. Besides being entertained, laughing out loud, and retelling parts to my husband, I feel that my faith has been renewed more with this series than any other Christian fiction. Thank you both, John McDonough and Jan Karon for the many hours of joyful listening.

Always an inspirational treat!

Narration was stellar, as usual. Listening to the Father Tim sagas is like reuniting with a long lost friend - warming the heart. “Don’t you know?!” In the words of Uncle Billy …

Ooops... Abner, not Adam!

Any additional comments?

I love this series and this recording so very much. I just noticed a teensy, weensy mistake--the narrator calls a character by the wrong name at least twice. I probably wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't read the book so often. Otherwise, excellent as always!

Great story

I really love this story but technically there are issues with this. The volume goes up and down and there is static in parts.

Stories that warm the heart

This is another wonderful story about the life of Father Tim and the people of his town. The type of story that is sweet and heart warming that it makes you laugh and cry but leaves you happy for the hearing of it.

A Perfect Listen

While this isn’t my favorite of the Mitford books, John McDonough makes every listen an enjoyable one. I was hooked from beginning to the end!
