I used to be a huge Jan Karon fan and read all of the earlier books, but this was so disappointing. It felt like a retread of all of the previous books. I couldn't finish it.

Reading a book written by Jan Karon is one of the few things left in this world that renews my faith in humanity. She's the only author who can write a book that will keep a smile on my face for the duration of the day's reading. To Be Where You Are is a treasure of a novel. Father Tim and Cynthia, their family and friends, were a welcome respite for me and I fell in love with life in Mitford all over again. and I am thankful.
