DESCRIPTION:
And readers get a rich comedy about ordinary people and their ordinary lives.. In these high, green hills, the air is pure, the village is charming, and the people are friendly. Enter a dog the size of a sofa who moves in and won't go away. Suddenly, Father Tim gets more than he bargained for. Now, stir in a lovable but unloved boy, a mystifying jewel theft, and a secret that's sixty years old. Yet, Father Tim, the bachelor rector, wants something more. Add an attractive neighbor who begins wearing a path through the hedge. The first novel in Jan Karon’s bestselling and beloved Mitford series It's easy to feel at home in Mitford, North Carolina
Much more than a gentle love story, this is a homespun tale about a town of endearing characters-- including a mysterious jewel thief--who are as quirky and popular as those of Mayberry, R.F.D.--Gail Hudson. The rector's forthright secretary, Emma Garret, worries about her employer, as she sees past his Christian cheerfulness into his aching loneliness. Father Tim, a cherished small-town rector, is the steadfast soldier in this beloved slice of life story set in an American village where the grass is still green, the pickets are still white, and the air still smells sweet. First with a gangly stray dog, later with a seemingly stray boy, and finally with the realization that he is stumbling into love with his independent and Christian-wise next-door neighbor. Slowly but surely, the empty places in Father Tim's heart do get filled
