Readers of the nine bestselling Mitford novels have been captivated by Jan Karon?s ?gift for illuminating the struggles that creep into everyday lives?along with a vividly imagined world? (People). They learned quickly that ?after you?ve spent time in Mitford, you?ll want to come back? (Chicago Tribune). Millions eagerly awaited the publication of each novel, relishing the story of the bookish and bighearted Episcopal priest and the extraordinary fullness of his seemingly ordinary life.

Now, Jan Karon enchants us with the story of the newly retired priest?s spur-of-the-moment adventure. For the first time in decades, Father Tim returns to his birthplace, Holly Springs, Mississippi, in response to a mysterious, unsigned note saying simply: ?Come home.? Little does he know how much these two words will change his life. A story of long-buried secrets, forgiveness, and the wonder of discovering new people, places, and depth of feeling, Home to Holly Springs will enthrall new readers and longtime fans alike.

If you enjoyed the Mitford series, you will certainly enjoy this story of Father Tim's growing up years presented alongside the continuing present-day story from the last of the Mitford series. Jan Karon has once again written a delightful, inspiring story that offers humor and wonderful insight.

A Fantastic Book !!!!

This book was great. I have to admit that I had a fear that I'd be disappointed after reading the entire Mitford series but I was not disappointed at all. It was different from the Mitford series but still a pleasure to read. Sure, we didn't have the Mitford regulars in the story, but in a way it was nice. After all, how long can you keep Mitford going? I hated to see this story end and I anxiously await the next book.

Gentle loving warmth and faith abounding.

Jan Karon's Mitford and now, Father Tim books are a balm and a blessing in this madness which is life in the 21st Century. Like previous adventures with aging and increasing wise Father Tim, the plot here unfolds with simple, yet marvelously complicated events and the usual and expected joys, tears and miracles. There's a whole new bunch of odd and oddly real characters as Tim returns to his boyhood and the intricate and byzantine relationships of an extraordinary family. Karon's prose is crushed green velvet, sprinkled with the white chocolate chips of sassy humor, always gently applied with reverence and always, always leavened with love. Mixed metaphors aside, the writing here compares favorably well with such gracious classics of inspirational fiction as the works of Elizabeth Goudge, Grace Hill, and Faith Baldwin, but resonates and reverberates with the contemporary works of Philip Gulley, Clyde Edgerton, Carolyn Chute, Rosamunde Pilcher, and Maeve Binchy. Reading to soothe the soul; and not just for Christians.

[I knew I enjoy Jan Karon's books- the Mitford series so wanted to try this one. I bought it for a gift but read it before mailing it I like it very much & believe the family to whom I sent it will enjoy it also. These books may not be the greatest literature in the world but they're so readable without the dirty language so many authors feel they have to use.
