I am currently listening to this series and I wish I could move to the fictional town of Mitford, NC. Father Tim is the central character in the stories, but the town is filled with wonderful characters that you just want to meet and be friends with. I even picked up the Mitford cook book at the library. The dishes in the book sound so delicious, I just had to give some of them a try. Jan Karon's writing is exquisite and John McDonough brings the characters and the town to life. I don't alwaysI absolutely love this whole series. So quirky, upbeat and interesting. My good friend loaned me these years ago and I have since given several as gifts. Everyone who has read them, likes them. They are light, easy reading...give yourself a while to get into them..they don't grab you right at first. But its worth the wait!
These are my ultimate feel-good books! Whenever I feel down or bored, I pull out one of these and life is sunshiney again. My favorite was probably "In This Mountain", but they're all fantastic.

A colleague of mine lent me her book. I resisted it for a long time, so sure I would not like it. Finally, for whatever reason, I picked it up and fell in love with Mitford. They're not great literature. They are great books in that they have made so many people smile and share them with each other. I talked with Jan Karon by phone some months before her final Mitford novel, just as she was releasing the Mitford cookbook. She was most kind and humble and not at all the prim-and-proper woman I
I have read this series several times. They are my go to books when I need a pick me up. Despite tackling some hard issues, these stories are uplifting and humorous. I want to live in Mitford and be friends with Father Tim and Cynthia.
