After five hectic years of retirement from Lord's Chapel, Father Tim Kavanagh re
turns with his wife, Cynthia, from a so-called pleasure trip to the land of his
Irish ancestors.
While glad to be at home in Mitford, something is
definitely missing: a pulpit. But when he's offered one, he decides he doesn't w
ant it. Maybe he's lost his passion.
His adopted son, Dooley, wrest
les with his own passion-for the beautiful and gifted Lace Turner, and his visio
n to become a successful country vet. Dooley's brother, Sammy, still enraged by
his mother's abandonment, destroys one of Father Tim's prized possessions. And H
ope Murphy, owner of Happy Endings bookstore, struggles with the potential loss
of her unborn child and her hard-won business.
