These High, Green Hills

This is the third book in the Mitford series but it doesn’t matter if you haven’t read the first two books. This volume is a good read on its own. Beware: you might become addicted to the Mitford small town warmth and have to read the next book in the series and the next and the next, as I did.

The High, Green Hills entails two gentle love stories; one between a near-to-retirement priest and his new artistic wife; the other between the same priest and his parish. If you enjoy the feeling of being connected to your family, friends and community you will love the streams of happenings in Mitford. There is always something of importance erupting in Father Tim’s parish, from lunch time at the popular uptown Grill to the antics of the quaint ladies up on the hill called Fernbank.

Then there are the people on the outskirts of Mitford in the place called The Creek. Poorer than church mice, but resilient, these colorful characters bring new challenges to Father Tim. He might be labeled a stick in the mud, not looking for adventure, but it finds him anyway in an unexplored, dark, damp cave.

Loving the people of his community and driven to be everything to everyone, Father Tim will win you heart and you will be asking: “Are there really priests or pastors like that anymore?”
