#1 New York Times-bestselling author Jan Karon returns with the fourteenth novel in the beloved Mitford series, featuring three generations of Kavanaghs.
Wounds heal, bonds grow stronger, and celebrations continue...Welcome back to beloved Mitford.
After twelve years of wrestling with the conflicts of retirement, Father Tim Kavanagh realizes he doesn't need a steady job to prove himself. Then he's given one. As for what it proves, heaven only knows.
Millions of Karon fans will be thrilled that it's life as usual in the wildly popular Mitford series: A beloved town character lands a front-page obituary, but who was it, exactly, who died? And what about the former mayor, born the year Lindbergh landed in Paris, who's still running for office? All this, of course, is but a feather on the wind compared to Muse editor J.C. Hogan's desperate attempts to find a cure for his marital woes. Will it be high-def TV or his pork-chop marinade? In fiction, as in real life, there are no guarantees.
Twenty minutes from Mitford at Meadowgate Farm, newlyweds Dooley and Lace Kavanagh face a crisis that devastates their bank account and impacts their family vet practice. But there is still a lot to celebrate, as their adopted son, Jack, looks forward to the most important day of his life—with great cooking, country music, and lots of people who love him. Happily, it will also be a day when the terrible wound in Dooley's biological family begins to heal because of a game—let's just call it a miracle—that breaks all the rules.
In To Be Where You Are, Jan Karon weaves together the richly comic and compelling lives of two Kavanagh families, and a cast of characters that readers around the world now love like kin.

Old priests never retire. Father Tim Kavanagh, approaching 80 and retired for 12 years, is just starting to enjoy being away from the full-time drama of priesting. At the same time, filling in occasionally for Father Brad at Lord's Chapel isn't quite enough, and Father Tim can't help involving himself in the lives of the citizens of the tiny mountain town of Mitford, whether that means keeping the local grocery store running when the proprietor gets sick or intervening (again) to help the family of his adopted son, Dooley. Meanwhile, Dooley, now a veterinarian, and his new wife, Lace (their wedding was the focus of Come Rain or Come Shine, 2015), are living at Meadowgate Farm, setting up the Kavanagh Animal Wellness Clinic and adopting a son of their own, four-year-old Jack. At the novel's close, Father Tim grants wife Cynthia her heart's desire by setting off with her on a trip in an RV. This entry in Karon's popular and long-running faith-based Mitford series offers plenty of characters and slices of life but little momentum. Buy it for fans.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.) -

Time to revisit Karon's beloved Mitford, where Episcopal priest Tim Kavanagh comes to terms with retirement, newlyweds Dooley and Lace face a crisis, and more. Karon left Mitford behind for nine years but came back roaring with 2014's Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good and 2015's Come Rain or Come Shine, top New York Times best sellers.
