This week's pick was inspired by Nan over at Life is Like a Lunchbox. Her life as a pastor's wife brings to mind the novels featured here today. Home to Holly Springs is the first in a new series by famed author Jan Karon, and is a take-off of her popular Mitford series. This poignant tale told primarily through flashbacks delves into Father Tim's life and helps the reader understand how he became the man he is. If you've read the rest of the Mitford books and were left wanting more, read Home to Holly Springs. You won't be disappointed.
If anyone has missed out on the Mitford phenomenon, all 9 titles are available right here. I highly recommend any and all of them, and of course, they are best enjoyed in the order in which they were published. Be prepared to get addicted to Mitford!
I don't know how I managed to not read these yet. Several years back they were all my friends were talking about. :^) I'll have to pick them up. And thanks for the sweet words and the link back. :^D You are a darling.
A lover of art in all it’s forms, I strive to express myself in a manner that allows others to see the world through my eyes. By Jennifer Robin and Robin’s Woods are a homage to my darling mother whose greatest unfulfilled passion was self expression. I hope I make her proud.
Jennifer Robin is the name that my darling mother had chosen for me. Alas, she was overruled, but I honor her by using it here and whenever I can. Curiously enough, Jennifer and Robin have the same meanings as my given first and middle names. Some things were just meant to be.
Where I live...
Robin’s Woods, of course. My husband and I call a log cabin in the midst of our 42 acres of forest our home, and are amongst thousands more wooded acres. It is our very own personal paradise, definitely a wish-come-true.

I love the entire Mitford series! Jan Karon did such a great job bringing those characters to life and making them real.
