This book answers a lot of the questions we've all wondered about Father Tim from his early years. As far as the timeline in Father Tim's life, the book takes up where the Mitford series left off. He receives a letter from someone in his hometown of Holly Springs, MS, so he goes there to find out who sent the letter and why.
Personally, I wouldn't read this book until I had read the entire Mitford series, but that's just me. I like to read things in chronological order, and since this book continues Father Tim's life, even though he's on the road to Holly Springs, it still takes place "after" everything in the Mitford series.
I really enjoyed the book and hope there's another one to come. Jan Karon leaves plenty of questions still hanging, so I am hoping that's a good indication of another book!
