Refuge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Those who are lucky to know Dot Jackson's writing as a journalist and columnist have long awaited this, her first novel, and she does not disappoint. Luminously written, evocative, and filled with a deep love for her Appalachian roots, Refuge is a new American masterpiece. You will be homesick for the Carolina Hills even if you have never been there.

A Light in the Window (The Mitford Years, Book 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book was every bit as delightful as At Home in Mitford, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. Jan Karon has created the perfect small town in which we would all like to live, and it is a joy to visit there, even if only for a little while. Esther Cunningham, the mayor of Mitford, says that Mitford always takes care of its own, and I think that is what we all love about the place. It's a place where the community love God and love their neighbors, with all their faults and eccentricities. It is also wonderful to read a about romance between mature adults Father Tim and Cynthia. I applauded Karon's way of communicating Christian values without hitting us over the head with them. I always leave Mitford a little more aware and a little more kindly disposed toward my own neighbors. If only we could create such a community in the real world.
