The Care and Management of Lies

Somewhere Safe With Somebody Good

This is Christian lit. I read the previous books in the series quite a few years ago and now Karon has come out with the first new one in 5 years so I had to catch up on what Father Tim, a retired Episcopalian minister and his wife Cynthia are up to. They live in a small village in rural North Carolina - the southwest part of the state in the Great Smoky Mountains. Father Tim has a way of active listening that is inspiring and Karon has him saying prayers that are quite wonderful. But don't read it if this isn't your " thing" !
