Light from Heaven (2006)

Jan Karon's Mitford series is my "dessert" reading. The Christmas break afforded me the opportunity to savor the last chapter of the final book in the series, Light from Heaven. It turns out the timing of my reading was perfect, since the book closes with a Christmas celebration.If you like a Whi...

Shepherds Abiding (2004)

“Shepherd’s Abiding” is a warm and fuzzy book that is part of the Mitford Years Series. I read about three or four of the series and always felt refreshed after reading them. Places like Mitford are where we all want to be at times—away from the maddening crowd.In this novel Father Tim and his wi...

A Common Life: The Wedding Story (2002)

I adored this book. It's slightly different than the other 'Mitford' books, in that the timeframe is only a few months, rather than a larger chunk, like most of the other books. This book was actually written after Jan Karon had written a few other stories in which Fr. Tim and Cynthia were alread...

These High, Green Hills (2005)

Library copy. Third in the Mitford series.I thoroughly enjoyed reading These High, Green Hills. I love where the title comes into the story, just once I believe, near the end, although it is no secret. It is amazing that the reader can come to know so many varied characters so well in the course ...

Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good (2014)

As a character, Father Tim does not disappoint. How nice to have him back in Mitford with his wife and reconnecting to familiar characters. What an example he is of aging gracefully but actively reaching out in helpful ways to others, spiritually and practically. His goal seemed to be: "To see t...
