Product Description

From Amazon.com

Mix one part All Creatures Great and Small with two parts Lake Wobegon, sprinkle a little Anne of Green Gables and get: Mitford, the pinnacle of provincial life, where homespun wisdom, guarded tradition, and principled faith are the precepts of good living. Jan Karon, purveyor of so-called "gentle fiction," continues the series that began with At Home in Mitford, in Out to Canaan. The patriarch of the tightly bound community of Mitford, North Carolina, is Father Timothy Kavanaugh, a.k.a. legal counsel, psychologist, foster parent, headhunter, husband, political analyst, and rector of his congregation. He is always there to lend a helping hand, a kind word or bit of advice, which believe it or not, makes for an incredibly busy schedule in this quiet, country town.

Longtime mayor Esther Cunningham, revered for preserving the traditions of the town, finds a formidable foe in Mack Stroupe, a free-spending industrialist who stands for the two most reviled words in Mitford: change and development. If that isn't enough, a suspicious company called "Miami Development" wants to buy Sadie Baxter's home--a Mitford landmark--and turn it into a hoity-toity spa. Father Tim has his hands full again with Dooley, his foster child who is back from prep school for the summer. The good rector continues to doctor Dooley's troubled past by locating his siblings, Poohbaw and Jessie, and finding their alcoholic mother, Pauline, work. The plethora of intricately woven, cozy vignettes makes Out to Canaan a potpie of warm, country reading. --Rebekah Warren --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

From Library Journal

Ah, Mitford. The mere name inspires serenity among Karon's many fans. They will not be disappointed by this latest outing (LJ 5/1/97), but neither will they be made serene. Narrator John McDonough imbues Father Tim with a surprisingly contemporary gentleness that defines both his profession and personality. Unfortunately for the parish, Father Tim is retiring in 18 months. Also, a vitriolic battle for mayor is pitting neighbor against neighbor. With all the spleen being vented around town and Tim often caught in the middle, retirement is looking awfully attractive. McDonough's voices capture the spirit of community, rich with its inhabitants' foibles. McDonough holds teenagers Dooley and Lace true to themselves, full of spirit, idealism, and a touch of realism. Recommended for all fiction collections.?Jodi Israel, Norwood, Mass.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Series, May 13 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Out to Canaan (The Mitford Years, Book 4) (Paperback)
This book, like all the Mitford series, is predictable, but I don't mean that as a criticism, but to the point that good things happen to good people and sometimes we get to see Karma kick back in action. I do hope that Jan Karon keeps writing more of these books. They are as addictive as potato chips!

5.0 out of 5 stars I would give it six stars., Sep 29 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Out to Canaan (The Mitford Years, Book 4) (Paperback)
This is by far the most enjoyable book I've read in the Mitford series and the others were all five star in my opinion. Jan Karon has such a terrific sense of humor and this book shows it at its very best. I especially enjoyed getting to know Harley, Lace's friend from the Creek area. I almost fell off my chair laughing at some of his language, being from the South I have heard people speak just as he does but it was still hilarious to read it. There were so many other enjoyable storylines : the mayoral race between Esther Cunningham and Mack Stroupe, Andrew Gregory and his wonderful surprise, Buck Leeper's return to town and of course the ever-deepening relationship between Dooley and Fr.Tim. Overall a highly satisfying visit to the village of Mitford.
