description: Come away to Mitford, the small town that takes care of its own. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Mitford is a crazy quilt of saints and sinners — lovable eccentrics all. Seen through the eyes of Father Tim, the long-suffering Village Rector, Mitford abounds in both mysteries and miracles, compelling readers to return again and again to this beloved series.Father Tim grapples with his sixty-fourth birthday and his decision to announce his retirement. That’s just one element of change Father Tim and his beloved Mitford struggle with. A Mayoral election threatens to divide the town. Mitford’s long-term mayor, Esther Cunningham, whose slogan is “Mitford Takes Care of Its Own”, may be ousted by Mack Stroupe (“Mack for Mitford, Mitford for Mack”). Old friends are retiring, even moving away. Change seems to be the only constant, and when Mule Skinner, a regular at the Main Street Grill, grimly asserts, “I despise change,” Father Tim wholeheartedly agrees. Is it unreasonable to hope that all Father Tim holds precious might somehow be preserved? Or is transformation the real way of things? Readers new and old will be reassured that the uncommon delight of life in Mitford lives on.
