A New Song

By: Jan Karon

Narrated by: John McDonough

In A New Song, Mitford's longtime Episcopal priest, Father Tim, retires. However, new challenges and adventures await when he agrees to serve as interim minister of a small church on Whitecap Island. He and his wife, Cynthia, soon find that Whitecap has its own unforgettable characters: a church organist with a mysterious past, a lovelorn bachelor placing personal ads, a mother battling paralyzing depression. They also find that Mitford is never far away when circumstances "back home" keep their phone ringing off the hook. In this fifth novel of the beloved series, fans old and new will discover that a trip to Mitford and Whitecap is twice as good for the soul.©1996 Jan Karon; (P)1999 Penguin Audiobooks

A New Song

It is wonderful! This book is so inspiring. In fact, I intend to read the whole series.

Great Narrator

Father Tim, John McDonough.... can't listen to anyone else. His baritone voice reflects what I picture, sincere, caring, often troubled but finding solace in prayer.

To read it, is like coming home...

You don't read this book, you fall into it. And the feeling it invokes is nothing short of coming home. As well performed as it is written, John McDonough and Jan Karon make the perfect pair. One wants it to go on forever.

thoroughly enjoyable story and narration

This is one I can listen to again and again.. Father Tim on the fishing trip left me in stitches. I so appreciate both Jan Karon and John McDonough. Thank you.

Better Than Medicine

I’ve been an enthusiastic Mitford/Karon fan for many years. Hearing John McDonough read this book brings it to life. Not just anyone could sing a a new song so sweetly. Even though I love the town of Mitford, White Cap is definitely worth the visit. In this crazy, fast-paced world in which we live, this book is soul food without being a silly fairytale. Thank you, Ms. Karon, for another treasured read.
