All good things---even laughter and orange marmalade cake---must come to an end! In Karon's long-anticipated Mitford finale, Father Tim and Cynthia "house-sit" a century-old farm, welcome a surprising new addition to the "nest," and face their biggest challenge. Can Father Tim revive a long-empty mountain church---or is he trying to accomplish the impossible? 384 pages, hardcover from Charisma.
All good things—even laughter and orange marmalade cake—must come to an end.
And in Light from Heaven, the long-anticipated final volume in the phenomenally successful Mitford Years series, Karon deftly ties up all the loose ends of Father Timothy Kavanagh’s deeply affecting life.
On a century-old valley farm where Father Tim and Cynthia are housesitting, there’s plenty to say grace over, from the havoc of a windstorm to a surprising new addition to the household and a mystery in the chicken house.
It’s life on the mountaintop, however, that promises to give Father Tim the definitive challenge of his long priesthood. Can he step up to the plate and revive a remote, long-empty mountain church, asap? Or has he been called to accomplish the impossible? Fortunately, he’s been given an angel—in the flesh, of course.
Light from Heaven is filled with characters old and new and with answers to all the questions that Karon fans have asked since the series began nearly a decade ago. To put it simply—it’s her best. And we believe millions will agree.
Jan Karon writes “to give readers an extended family and to applaud the extraordinary beauty of ordinary lives.”

The Mitford books is such a refeshing, wonderful series! I wish there were more hours in the day to read more so that I could reread them all! Father Tim and Cynthia are such a delightful couple. I am always sad when I finish the book because that means I won't be spending time with these favorite people, anymore.
