After five hectic years of retirement from Lordโs 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 heโs offered one, he decides he doesnโt want it. Maybe heโs lost his passion.
His adopted son, Dooley, wrestles with his own passionโfor the beautiful and gifted Lace Turner, and his vision to become a successful country vet. Dooleyโs brother, Sammy, still enraged by his motherโs abandonment, destroys one of Father Timโs 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 Wandaโs Feel Good Cafรฉ 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?
Millions of fans will applaud the chance to spend time, once more, in the often comic and utterly human presence of Jan Karonโs characters. Indeed, they have never been more sympathetic, bighearted, and engaging.
