Synopsis

The second book in Jan Karon’s bestselling Mitford series confirms that a trip to Mitford is good for the soul
His attractive neighbor is tugging at his heartstrings. A wealthy widow is pursuing him with hot casseroles. And his red-haired Cousin Meg has moved into the rectory, uninvited. As you can see, Mitford's rector and lifelong bachelor, Father Tim, is in need of divine intervention. In this beautifully crafted second novel in the Mitford series, Jan Karon delivers a love story that's both heartwarming and hilarious. Only time will tell if the village parson can practice what he preaches. Like At Home in Mitford, this book is filled with the miracles and mysteries of everyday life. And the affirmation of what some of us already know: Life in a small town is rarely quiet and it is absolutely never boring.

"I so enjoyed this book. Although its main character is an Episcopalian priest named Father Tim, it is never preachy about religion. There's no heavy drama, no shocking twists, no explosive ending. But it's every bit as charming and engrossing as all I so enjoyed this book. Although its main......more

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin) on January 06, 2014

Had you asked me I would never have thought I'd be reading a series of books like this one. (Not macho, you know). This is the story of a middle aged (maybe late middle-age?) clergyman in a small town. Again I came over these when i was listening to books and reading whatever I could get my hands on......more

Goodreads review by Carol Bakker on April 16, 2018

This is a tender book, a romance in the best, most elevated sense of the word. Father Tim and Cynthia's love for each other is expressed; but what to do about it is one of the conflicts of the story. Chapter Seven, letters written to each other, is pure gold. Light illuminates this book — glowing in......more

Goodreads review by Jerry on January 27, 2019

Jan Karon continues her charming small-town series with this second volume, which is touching at times, and heartbreaking at others, but also includes a dash of humor. While you'll likely see the ending coming a mile away--I know I did--it still made for enjoyable reading.......more
