Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good

After a five-year wait, fans of Jan Karon's fictional series about the residents of Mitford, North Carolina, will be delighted to immerse themselves in another story featuring the town's Episcopal priest, Father Timothy Kavanaugh. Even better news: John McDonough, who narrated most of the earlier books, returns to deliver this audiobook. McDonough's gentle, patient tone richly portrays the peaceful soul of Father Tim as he explores retirement. The avuncular Episcopal priest finds himself in high demand as a matchmaker, foster parent, cake tester, and canine companion, but he also finds time to write love letters his beloved wife. McDonough reveals Father Tim's simultaneous humor and impatience as townspeople encourage him to partake of a newfangled spray tan, and seek his advice in the local bookstore.
