A 'movie' that plays on the biggest of all...your imagination. Welcomehome...to the small town where millions of people like to drop in. Mitford. Where a handshake, a warm embrace and a friendly word are as inviting as a cup of coffee at the Main Street Grill or a slice of pie made from Miss Sadie's world famous apples. Here you'll find the joy of life's little dramas. In the surprise companionship of a stray dog. In the rough-and-tumble world of a boy's heart. In the generosity of a matron's gift her community. In the stead friendship of neighbors. In the nobility of a promise by a parish priest. In a love rekindled. In the gentle gossip and humorous quirks of townspeople who enjoy their world, for all of its ups and downs. Join the people of Mitford as they go through a season of life--where an ordinary day can yield extraordinary possibilities. Hosted by Jan Karon, this faithful dramatic adaptation of At Home in Mitford brings to life the many characters and stories now loved by millions of readers.
