Publisher's summary

At last, Mitford's rector and lifelong bachelor Father Tim has married his talented and vivacious neighbor Cynthia. Now, of course, they must face love's challenges: new sleeping arrangements for Father Tim's sofa-sized dog, Cynthia's urge to decorate the rectory Italian-villa-style, and the growing pains of the thrown-away boy who's become like a son to the rector.

Add a life-changing camping trip, the arrival of the town's first policewoman, and a new computer that requires the patience of a saint, and you know you're in for another engrossing visit to Mitford, the little town that audiences everywhere call home.

Don't miss out on the rest of Father Tim's adventures in Mitford.

Mitford Series by Jan Karon

I’m on my 2nd or 3rd reading and/or listening to my favorite Mitford series since the Lord brought these inspirational stories to my attention through my best friend. I’m in my seventies and continue to laugh, cry and so enjoy Father Tim’s wonderful journey of living God’s plan for his life and getting to know and love
Ms. Karon’s many lovable and interesting Mitford citizens. God has truly blessed her with fleshing out the Christian’s daily walk from such an interesting perspective. Thank you for her physical books and also for her audio books.

The Essence of Mitford.

Jan Karon delves deeper into the main characters while introducing a few new ones. She leaves her readers wanting to know: What happens to Dooley and his family? How is Lace going to adjust to her new home? Will Buck Leaper return? How will Hope House serve Mitford? What ever happened to Edith? I'm glad all the books have been written so I can binge read them all again!
