I really enjoyed reading this book. I've read a couple of the Mitford books, and although I enjoyed them, I didn't want to commit to reading the whole series. I was able to still pick this book up and thoroughly enjoy the story. Dooley is back, as is Cynthia. The rest of the Mitford gang is merely mentioned in passing here and there.

As always, I loved the prayers. They were uplifting, and there was grace in each of the stories. As always, great characters.

This is book 1 of the Father Tim series. Father Tim goes home again and finds many connections he didn’t even know he sought. He also makes peace with the memory of his father, and discovers the truth behind many boyhood mysteries. Audio book narrator Scott Sowers “young” voice isn’t quite right for Father Tim and others of his generation, but he does an okay job of other characters.
