Synopsis
With Home to Holly Springs, New York Times-bestselling author Jan Karon launches a new series, The Father Tim Novels, featuring the retired Episcopal priest that her readers have come to love. With all the deep feeling, insight, and humor that fans of the Mitford series cherish, Karon in this novel takes Father Tim on a journey to his hometown of Holly Springs, Mississippi. A host of fascinating encounters with people along the way ensure that the trip is colorful, though as Father Tim arrives in response to a mysterious summons, he may discover that home is where the heart is but also where secrets are hidden.

Reviews
It just didn't seem as good to me hearing a different voice read this book. After listening to the entire Mitford series read by the same person, that voice was Father Tim. I would have enjoyed it much more if it had been the same voice as I had listened to thru the years of my Mitford family growing up.
This book moves as slow as an August breeze in Holly Springs, but was just as welcome. I found the characters endearing, and I couldn't wait to find out what happened to each of them. It was surely worth my time.
