Book Description
Jan Karon's millions of fans can't wait to sit down with
her heartwarming and hilarious characters, who have a way of
becoming family. In fact, readers and booksellers across the
country kept Out to Canaan and At Home in Mitford on The New
York Times bestseller list for months. In A New Song,
Mitford's longtime Episcopal priest, Father Tim, retires.
However, new challenges and adventures await when he agrees
to serve as interim minister of a small church on Whitecap
Island. He and his wife, Cynthia, soon find that Whitecap has
its own unforgettable characters: a church organist with a
mysterious past, a lovelorn bachelor placing personal ads, a
mother battling paralyzing depression. They also find that
Mitford is never far away when circumstances "back
home" keep their phone ringing off the hook. In this
fifth novel of the beloved series, fans old and new will

for the soul. "Everything that, in the wee hours of the
night, you like a book to be, warm-hearted and funny, with a
hero marked by...profound inner strength" --Milwaukee
