After a vacation reading thrillers, spy novels and mysteries, it was so refreshing to pick up Jan Karon's Shepherds Abiding. I gently eased back into Mitford with Father Tim, Cynthia and all the wonderful individuals whose lives I've followed through this 8th book in the series. Aaaghh! This was a wonderful book, as usual, and brought tears to my eyes with the shared moments of family and brotherly love, the neighbor watching out for neighbor and the simple things in life making for the greatest joys. What a heartwarming book for these troubled times! Enjoy this read!

In typical Jan Karon style, she brings the spirit of the season with every page!

Another home run from Jan Karon. Shepherds Abiding made me long for the crisp, chilly air of winter and the joy that Christmas always brings. If you need a Christmas fix, but the holiday season is several months away, this is the book for you.
Loved this series! This is one of my all-time favorite series, and I've read them twice already.

For fans of Mitford, I enjoyed reading this book for the second time. It's a nice easy read and reminded me of what I enjoyed about the characters in the Mitford series. It's a very nice holiday read.
