Yeah, I finally finished another book. I tend to go in spirts, But while visiting Fountain Green I found a new series. Written by Jan Karon is the Mitford series. It is about a Espiscopalian priest named Father Tim. "Father Tim has more than he can handle - with church secretary Emma Garrett managing his every move, a lovable but unloved by named Dooley thrust into his car and the charms and graces of new neighbor, Cynthia Coppersmith."
Not to go too far from the subject, I recently learned how to summarize much easier. I happened to catch Brad Wilcox on some show and this is what he taught. To summarize you ask yourself five questions (we just happen to have 5 fingers on one hand, convenient right?). Question 1 - Who? Who is the main character of the book? In this book, it is Father Tim, a priest in a small town in the Blue Ridge mountains. 2- What? What does the main character want? He wants his life to be the best he can make it. 3 - But? But what happens that makes it so they can't get what they want? Father Tim's life is complicated by some unexpected events in the town and in his parish that completely take over his life. 4 - Then? Then what happens? Then he is able to work through his difficulties that include health problems and falling in love with his next door neighbor. Episcopalian priests are able to be married and have families. 5 - Finally? What finally happens? Father Tim is able to resolve several mysteries, help a few people find peace and learn that his neighbor feels the same about him as he does about her.
The characters in this book are delightful and interesting, some even eccentric and funny. It is well written and very engaging to read. I am anxious to begin the next book in the series.
