Home to Holly Springs — Jan Karon

Thirty-eight years have passed since Father Tim Kavanagh left his Mississippi hometown, determined not to return. Then he receives a handwritten note postmarked Holly Springs. Cryptic and unsigned, it says only “Come home.” These two words compel him to make the most challenging journey of his life. They also lead him to a truth that will change his life -- forever.
