Another wonderful Jan Karon book that continues Father Tim's story from Mitford and beyond. This time he returns to his childhood home, and Karon weaves a delightful, unpredictable story of his deeply personal experiences, discoveries, and revelations.

Absolutely love this book! If is far more beautiful than I imagined. More like a coffee table book. Beautifully written with authentic southern recipes. My father, who grew up in the south, was the cook in our family. I was surprised to find dishes that we enjoyed at home. It never dawned on me that these delights came from the south. As a little girl, I thought he made them up himself and simply served them with love. This beautiful book confirms that cooking and serving food with love is indeed the heart of southern home cooking.


The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (No 1 Ladies Detective Agency, Bk 1)

Just the beginning of a wonderful series of 12 (so far!). We can all learn from Mma Ramotswe--a sweet but strong character who naturally embodies common sense, common decency, and loyalty. The stories, dialogues, and characters are so dear, and McCall's descriptions of the African countryside will have you taking in all it's beauty and feeling the sweet air as the rain approaches. My sister-in-law travelled to Botswana just because of these books. She reported that the people and places are just like Alexander McAll Smith presents them here: a true village of decent folk in a beautiful country.
