Detailed plot synopsis reviews of At Home In Mitford

Also in the story, is a poor unloved boy whose parents couldn't care less about him, and he needs a father figure. So Father Tim more or less adopts this boy into his heart and home and loves him like his own boy.

Along also comes a stray dog, that has no home as well, so Father Tim cares adopts the dog as well, calling him Barnaba.

Father Tim has also been a bachelor for many years. But maybe not for long. The new neighbor next door, Cynthia Coppersmith, who is a famous children's author, comes to introduce herself to Father Tim.

This is a terrific down-home book, and first in the Mitford series!
