These High, Green Hills - (Mitford Novel) by Jan Karon (Paperback)

About the Book

With her first two Mitford novels, "At Home in Mitford" and "A Light in the Window," Jan Karon established her reputation as a deft chronicler of small-town life. "These High, Green Hills" takes readers back to Mitford for a third visit, recounting the further adventures of Father Tim who, in addition to a new wife, has added a foster son to his life.

Book Synopsis

Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Jan Karon on a trip to Mitford--a southern village of local characters so heartwarming and hilarious you'll wish you lived right next door.

At last, Mitford's rector and lifelong bachelor, Father Tim, has married his talented and vivacious neighbor, Cynthia. Now, of course, they must face love's challenges: new sleeping arrangements for Father Tim's sofa-sized dog, Cynthia's urge to decorate the rectory Italian-villa-style, and the growing pains of the thrown-away boy who's become like a son to the rector. Add a life-changing camping trip, the arrival of the town's first policewoman, and a new computer that requires the patience of a saint, and you know you're in for another engrossing visit to Mitford--the little town that readers everywhere love to call home.
