INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jan Karon gives her beloved fans what they want for Christmas: a new Mitford novel.
When Father Tim’s wife, Cynthia, asks what he wants for Christmas, he pens the answer in a love letter that bares his most private feelings. Then the letter goes missing and circulates among his astonished neighbors. So much for private.
Can a letter change a life? Ask Helene, the piano teacher who has avoided her feelings for a lifetime. Ask Hope, the village bookseller who desperately needs something that’s impossibly out of reach. Or, if you’d like to know how a brush with death can be the portal to a happy marriage, Cynthia will tell you all about it.
In My Beloved, Harley gets an important letter of his own; a broken heart teaches the Old Mayor, Esther Cunningham, a lesson long in coming; and thanks to Lace and Dooley, readers get what they’ve been waiting for: Sadie.
Poignant, hilarious, and life-affirming, My Beloved sets a generous table for millions of readers who love these characters like family. With Karon’s signature humanity shining through on every page, this is a season of life in Mitford you won’t want to miss.

     October 6, 2025
     Karon returns to her bestselling Mitford Years series, eight years after To Be Where You Are, with a charming story about a misplaced love letter that touches everyone who reads it in their town of Mitford, N.C. As Christmas approaches, Episcopal priest Tim Kavanagh writes a heartfelt note to his wife, Cynthia. Father Tim is delighted with the result, which he places in a gift-wrapped volume of poetry before losing the package. Through a comedy of errors, the letter winds up being read by several of the couple’s neighbors, each of whom are restored by Tim’s message to Cynthia. Among them are piano teacher Helene, who gains faith in love (“that such depth of feeling exists in the human spirit was itself a gift”); elderly former mayor Esther, now homebound, who’s reminded of a love she’s felt throughout her life; and bookstore manager Hope, who recalls how she once harbored romantic feelings for Father Tim and, recognizing his handwriting, places the book and letter under the counter before it winds up in yet another set of hands before Christmas comes. Karon infuses the story with down-home charm and an earnest belief in the importance of community, family, and grace. Series fans will be enchanted.
