Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Millions of Americans have discovered in Mitford a favorite home-away-from-home. In the seventh novel, Father Tim and Cynthia are back home in Mitford, where they find change in the air: a haircut price war that takes no prisoners, a risky new menu item at the Grill. Though Father Tim dislikes change, he dislikes retirement even more. A new challenge seems promising until an unexpected event propels him on a painful journey. For years, Father Tim has helped others find forgiveness; now he must find the courage and grace to forgive himself.
Amazon.com Review:
Father Tim Kavanagh and his wife, Cynthia, return from Whitecap Island to 'the little town with the big heart' in Jan Karon's seventh novel in the bestselling Mitford series, In This Mountain. Retirement holds challenges Father Tim hasn't anticipated, and even as Cynthia's career as a children's book author and illustrator brings her new accolades, he finds himself dogged by health troubles and dissatisfaction with the way his life is turning out. However, the beloved villagers of Mitford are on hand to offer support and humour through every crisis, and a few new characters are introduced to keep interest in the series fresh. Throughout the tale, Karon folds in themes of grace and forgiveness, and offers hope for even the most difficult situations. Fans will be delighted to find that this installment of the series is full of the engaging descriptions and charming depiction of life in Mitford that very first won Karon the loyalty of legions of readers. --Cindy Crosby

THis seventh book of the Mitford series is my favorite. It gently takes me to a place that feels real or at least possible. I'm nearly finished with it and it has made me cry and laugh and pray. If you want to figure out how to cope with life's hard times, Father Tim and his friends will show you how to do it with Grace. Thank you Jan Karon for sharing with us.

As a pastor I enjoy reading the Mitford series. I can relate to lots of the things that Father Tim deals with. This book spoke directly to my heart. Retirement is not something that Pastors look forward to, at least not the ones I know. A good pastor / missionary / evangelist never retires from doing the Lord's work.
But what caught me here was the fact that even Pastor's can struggle with some discouragment and depression. I have struggled for the last two years with some depression after being moved from one position to another. It has been difficult. Sometimes I wondered where God was.
I like Father Timothy kept opening my Bible looking for the right verse that would speak to my heart. So, as I read this book I totally related.
I would hope that as you read it you will come to understand that Pastors are just as human as everyone else. We deal with the same issues that laypeople deal with.
God is there and is walking with us through every part of our lives. You just might not see him clearly right now. But hold on tight, He is there and He loves you and will help you find the other side of depression and bring you Joy in the morning.
Thank you Jan for writing a truly heart felt book.

This is a great "next chapter" to the series. If you've read the others you'll love this too.

I have read all of the Mitford Years books, and have found this one
just as entertaining and uplifting as all the rest. It is spiritual
without being "preachy", with a strength and gentleness that renews
ones faith in her fellow man.
