The first novel in 1 New York Times bestselling author Jan Karon’s beloved series set in America’s favorite small town: Mitford. It's easy to feel at home in Mitford.

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. Read more

A cozy book for a quiet afternoon
Format: Paperback
This series is a favorite, I have read it twice, once in print and once as audio books. I got this for my mom, who had never read them before, and she loves them now as well and is getting herself the whole series. Father Tim and the residents of Mitford, North Carolina are a blessing to anyone looking for gentle stories, relatable characters, and a good book to read with a cup of coffee or tea

underated masterpiece
Format: Audiobook
An amazing , heartfelt, lovable, series that takes me back to another time with all the wit, wisdom and fun that life once was. I'm 72 years old and ready to start the series again. I first read this 10 years ago and still think back to the story and the characters. The well developed characters of Mitford make this story and I'm eager to begin the story again.

WITTY, HEARTFELT, & REFRESHING!
Format: Kindle
"Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established." —Proverbs 16:3 A New York Times Best Seller and a recent Hallmark Movie! It's refreshing to read a well written book that's not only engaging, but witty, heartfelt, and refreshingly clean. But that doesn't mean this fictitious little southern charm town doesn't have its quirky characters or scandalous stories. There's something for everyone without the sexual smut and vulgar words that drive so much of today's book market. In this story about an aging, slightly overweight priest, a mangy dog, a quirky neighbor, and a homeless boy, there's no cussin, no sex, and no mayhem! … Well, there's a little mayhem, but pure delightful. In the high, green hills of Mitford, the air is pure, the village is charming, and the people are generally lovable. This book is the first in a series, but it also stands alone very nicely all by itself. It'll make you laugh out loud, cry a little, and inspire you to try a little harder and be a little better, remembering that behind every secret there's a story waiting to be told. "We never, ever know what heartache lies under those rooftops. … Everybody is trying to swallow something that won't go down." —Jan Karon, At Home in Mitford "God asks us not to worry about tomorrow. … Just stick with today, is what he recommends. Of course, it helps to stick with him, while we're at it." —Jan Karon, At Home in Mitford

Thank you Jan Karon!
Format: Kindle
At Home in Mitford is the first story in Jan Karon’s precious 15 book Mitford series. My Mitford story reviews will be general in scope. The Mitford stories include so much heartwarming treasure for the reader… it would be difficult to highlight certain passages. The series is set in a small hamlet in the mystical Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. For those who have not lived in that area, the ancient Blue Ridge Mountains have always been mystical. Our main character is 60-year-old Episcopal Father Timothy Kavanagh. He knows exactly how to care for his flock… and his flock is an eclectic assemblage. Among them, the church secretary Emma Garrett, 11-year-old Dooley Barlow who finds a calm home with Father Tim, a German mastiff named Barnabas who doesn’t follows commands… but heels to Bible verses, Father Tim’s housemaid Puny Bradshaw… an angel disguised as a young lady who needed work, and the new lady next door Cynthia Coppersmith. Beware Tim, the girl next door is a real thing! I’m just beginning this series, but the first book has been glorious! I love the setting, the characters, and the storyline. Plus, there are beautiful Bible verses woven throughout the story that touch your heart and make the story more enduring. Rating: 5 STARS!

Imagine a Priest's Life

Delightful reading, depth of soul content and from mind of a delightful writer. The breadth of God's merciful grace greatly expressed on a heartwarming story tale.

Engaging!
Format: Kindle
Father Tim and the people of Mitford are so refreshing and engaging, that they make me want to move to a small village near some mountains. The story was engaging from the start, watching the hero of the book find companionship and a way to get healthy and whole. It's a love story, for sure, but not just a romance; the love that flows from the Holy Spirit through Father Tim affects the whole town in a positive way. Jesus is so real in these pages, and when one of the townsfolk took sick, I found myself praying for them! LOL I'd recommend this for young adults all the way up to senior adults. It's a simple read, but the more mature reader will get just as much out of the story as the young.

Purchased New - Came in Undesirable Condition
Format: Paperback
Just received this novel and am excited to read it. Upon opening it, I discovered pages 175 to 206 damaged. They were folded into the book. When I unfolded them, I discovered the pages weren't cut correctly. They are larger and jagged, and it appears that this was known but just dealt with by folding the excess into the book. I still plan to read the novel and when I do, I will come back to leave a review about the actual work itself.
