Thanks to a thousand sights and smells, he also travels back through memoriessome fond and some hes tried for nearly forty years to forget, from his quick-to-anger father and his lovingly tender mother to the picturesque small town hed tried desperately to leave behind. And once Father Tim discovers who was behind the mysterious note, a truth is revealed that will change his lifeforever. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Someone restocked our the Little Free Library near our house and husband traded in to get this set. Wait till you see what I got. Whoever refilled it treats their books with tender loving care so we traded some of our nicest trade-ins that we have treated likewise

Valentine Fun #14 - The Fun is finally about to come to an end. Only one more book to go after this one! This book is the first of the Father Tim series. I love the Mitford series and this is a branch off of that series!!! This was a community and city I fell in love with right from the start!!!

robinb I need to read this! I grew up 40 minutes from Holly Springs. 😊 7y
BookaholicNatty Thats so neat @robinb!!! Have you read the entire Mitford collection already? 7y
robinb @BookaholicNatty I have not. 😔 I‘m assuming I need to start there before getting to this? 7y
BookaholicNatty Yes I would suggest that but, let‘s see if anyone else has a suggestion to that question. Dear #Littens Should you read the Mitford series first before reading the Father Tim series? 7y

We‘re late decorators, so this is from last year, but we‘ll probably do something very similar this year. The top pic is actually our organ, not a shelf, but the bottom one is one of the bookshelves in our family room. #decoratetheshelves #decktheshelves @Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck
