MITFORD'S VILLAGE RECTOR, Father Tim, is running scared. He can no longer deny (even to himself), that he's in love with his neighbor, Cynthia Coppersmith. Cynthia, after all, sees in him a man of warmth and daring--if only he'll meet her halfway. But now a wealthy widow is pursuing Father Tim with hot casseroles. And the mysterious Cousin Meg has moved into the rectory bag and baggage--not to mention uninvited. Abounding with characters both old and new, A Light in the Window compels readers to do something they treasure: laugh out loud. Praise for the companion volume, At Home in Mitford: Jan Karon left a successful, award-winning career in advertising to move to Blowing Rock, North Carolina, a peaceful village not unlike Mitford. She says, "I write to give readers an extended family, and a little town they can call their own."
