FROM SARAH:

I fell in love with the small town of Mitford and its delightful cast of characters. Witness the immeasurable patience of Father Tim as he delves into the all-encompassing job of caring for his parishioners and their host of ordinary, at times extraordinary, and oftentimes hilarious, circumstances.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

It's easy to feel at home in Mitford. In these high, green hills, the air is pure, the village is charming, and the people are generally lovable. Yet, Father Tim, the bachelor rector, wants something more. Enter a dog the size of a sofa who moves in and won't go away. Add an attractive neighbor who begins wearing a path through the hedge. Now, stir in a lovable but unloved boy, a mystifying jewel theft, and a secret that's sixty years old. Suddenly, Father Tim gets more than he bargained for. And readers get a rich comedy about ordinary people and their ordinary lives.

FROM SARAH:

Continue on in the beloved series with the lovable residents of Mitford from the first book, plus a few new faces.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

In this beautifully crafted second novel in the Mitford series, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jan Karon delivers a love story that's both heartwarming and hilarious.
