#1 New York Times bestselling author Jan Karon returns with a new novel set in beloved Mitford-a festive tale that captures the Christmas spirit and the enduring power of love.
As snow blankets the quaint town of Mitford, Father Tim pens a list of Christmas gifts for his loved ones. But what present could possibly come close to relaying the depth of his affection for his wife, Cynthia? After all, she has changed his life-made him laugh more, feel more, love more than he ever imagined possible.
He decides to write a personal love letter to his beloved, but soon after he finishes, he discovers that it has gone missing. In ways extraordinary and unexpected, the letter makes its way into the hands of each of the townsfolk-the Kavanaugh family, Esther Cunningham, Miss Pringle, Puny, and others-bringing healing, hope, and a touch of Christmas magic to the people who need it most.
Filled with Jan Karon's signature blend of humor and warmth, My Beloved invites old and new readers alike back to the cozy world of Mitford, where love and community shine brightest during the holiday season. Because sometimes, the greatest miracles come in the most unexpected packages. Jan Karon is the author of the bestselling series of fourteen Mitford novels featuring Episcopal priest Father Timothy Kavanagh and the fictional village of Mitford, the most recent of which, To Be Where You Are, was a New York Times bestseller. Karon lives in Charlottesville, Virginia.
