The sixtysomething rector of Mitford has been blissfully married to his parishioner for many years. Currently, he is wed to Cynthia, his lively neighbor next door.
Father Tim says he has never experienced so many surprises in his life in Mitford. In addition to burning his drapery, his wife is "aging" the walls of their already old kitchen. He has come to love the mountain youngster as his own, and he makes a terrible choice. And the confusion and misery of learning the church computer system is equal to the chaos that ensues when his tranquil rectory is turned into a nursery.
All of this, however, pales in comparison to what occurs on a camping trip in the bush, which leaves him a transformed man.
