I love Jan Karon's books! This is the first I've done as anaudible book, but the narrator is perfect. I recommend the entire series in any format you can find.

FROM AMAZON: After five hectic years of retirement from Lord's Chapel, Father Tim Kavanagh returns with his wife, Cynthia, from a so-called pleasure trip to the land of his Irish ancestors. While glad to be at home in Mitford, something is definitely missing: a pulpit. But when he's offered one, he decides he doesn't want it. Maybe he's lost his passion.

His adopted son, Dooley, wrestles with his own passion - for the beautiful and gifted Lace Turner, and his vision to become a successful country vet. Dooley's brother, Sammy, still enraged by his mother's abandonment, destroys one of Father Tim's prized possessions. And Hope Murphy, owner of Happy Endings bookstore, struggles with the potential loss of her unborn child and her hard-won business.

All this as Wanda's Feel Good Cafe opens, a romance catches fire through an Internet word game, their former mayor hatches a reelection campaign to throw the bums out, and the weekly Muse poses a probing inquiry: Does Mitford still take care of its own? ( )

My favorite of the Mitford series. ( )

Another peaceful, easy read. It wasn't my favorite of the series, though - less engaging. It didn't keep my interest as well as the others. ( )

A collection of short, silly poems for all ages.

Epigraph
I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for good and not for harm, to give you a future and a hope.
--Jeremiah 29:11
Oh, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person: having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them out. Just as they are--chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
Dinah Maria (Mulock) Craik, 1826-1887
Dedication
For the young men and women of Grandfather Home for Children
