Jan Karon's millions of fans can't wait to sit down with her heartwarming and hilarious characters, who have a way of becoming family. In A New Song, Mitford's longtime Episcopal priest, Father Tim, retires. However, new challenges and adventures await when he agrees to serve as interim minister of a small church on Whitecap Island. He and his wife, Cynthia, soon find that Whitecap has its own unforgettable characters: a church organist with a mysterious past, a lovelorn bachelor placing personal ads, a mother battling paralyzing depression. They also find that Mitford is never far away when circumstances "back home" keep their phone ringing off the hook. In this fifth novel of the beloved series, fans old and new will discover that a trip to Mitford and Whitecap is twice as good for the soul. "Everything that, in the wee hours of the night, you like a book to be, warm-hearted and funny, with a hero marked by . . . profound inner strength" --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

The 5th in the Mitford series. Father Tim and his beautiful wife Cynthia take on a new challenge...pastoring a small congregation on the island of Whitecap on the Atlantic coast. There they meet and learn to love a group of people as unforgettable as the ones they left behing in Mitford. If you've enjoyed the others in the Mitford series, you won't want to miss this one.
The fifth novel in the beloved Mitford Series takes the retired rector and his wife away from Mitford to a seaside location. This book is very easy to read. It's very positive and uplifting. Karon's message is of hope and redemption. I would read it during those times when you don't want something too heavy or dramatic because everything is neatly resolved at the end.

One of a series about Father Tim considering a new church away from his town and a boy he loves. A wonderful light hearted story of two people in love and wanting to do the best for the Lord.

This is book 5 of the Mitford Years. I loved this entire series and I'm usually more of a mystery lover. Father Tim is still one of my favorite characters. It is fun and inspiring to get to know him and the townspeople.
