A Light in the Window by Jan Karon

In the second book of the Mitford series, Father Tim is dating his neighbor Cynthia but is unwilling to admit that he loves her.  Complications develop when Cynthia sees Father Tim return home after an unplanned all-nighter at a rich widow's house.  Can Father Tim fight off the unwanted attentions of Edith Mallory?  Will he overcome his fear of commitment and ask Cynthia to marry him?  You'll find out the answers to these questions and more.  Another satisfying read! 432 pages.

At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon

I had to go back to re-read the Mitford series after reading Jan Karon's Somewhere safe with somebody good.  I just love Father Tim.  He's overweight, tired all the time, and burnt out at his job at the Mitford Episcopal Church.  His bishop suggests that he take a vacation and his doctor warns him to get his diabetes under control or else!  Father Tim starts running again and opens his house to a stray dog.  It all snowballs from there and soon Father Tim finds himself raising a young boy and dating his neighbor.  Who would have thought it could happen!  A very enjoyable read.  413 pages.
