just couldn't get into this book and I truly enjoyed all the other books on the Mitford series. I hope the next book in the Father Tim series is better. This was definitly not the best book Jan Karon has written. It did clear a little of Father Tim's past. But other than that I could care less.
I lost interest a little over half way and just couldn't finish the book.

This is the best thing Jan Karon has written in years! I had been slowly losing interest as I read the Mitford books in order. Then I read this book, and POW! I am as interested, involved and excited as I was by the first Mitford book. This is a beautiful story that stands on its own merits. And I cannot wait for more Father Tim stories. My faith has been restored in both Jan Karon and Father Tim.

This was definitly not the best book Jan Karon has written. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, it did clear a little of Father Tim's past. But other than that I could care less. There are a few curse words that shocked me when I came upon them.
I lost interest a little over half way and have yet to finish the book.

I have read the complete Mitford Series and I enjoyed this book as much, if not more. It tells the story of the life of the young Tim and how his early life shaped him to be 'Father Tim'. Perfect in every way.
Father Tim goes home. They say you can't, but he does, and hunts for solutions to mysteries of his youth. A good read as he travels thru his stuff, with some Christian prayers/thoughts/prayers/poems thrown in. Since I really like the good father, I tolerated this part. Overall, a good read, and if you have read Jan Karon's other Father Tim's you will no doubt enjoy this.
This ties the Mitford series all together! I love this book!
