Millions have relished the story of the bookish and big-hearted Episcopal priest and the fullness of his seemingly ordinary life. Now, in the first novels of a new series, 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.” 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. Average Rating:
 Rating: - BookBook arrived within 3 days of my order. Am giving it as a gift, so haven't read it. Rating:  - DisappointingI loved the first four Mitford series books. However, I have to believe that this book is written by a different author. The writing style is amateur and difficult to follow. I found this book to be extremely aggravating. I was constantly trying to figure out who was speaking in the dialog and who was who. For example, there are TWO Peggys. Couldn't the author have simplified things by creating a different name?

I won't spoil the surprise; just read it for ... Read More Rating: - Home To Holly SpringsAnother well written story from Jan Karon. I am always caught up in Fr. Tim's life when I read Ms. Karon's stories. As I friend of mine said after reading "The Mitford Series", "I'm dreaming in sentences". The characters of Holly Springs have life in the words of this book. The insights into our emotions and make-up are right on. The conclusions are life changing. Rating: - 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 ...
