    • 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! ... show more

    • 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 ... show more
