Author's Note:
I wrote At Home in Mitford because I wanted to share the stories of the people who live in small towns across America. I believe that these stories are important because they show the strength and resilience of the human spirit. I also wanted to explore the themes of community, faith, and forgiveness, which I believe are essential to a meaningful life.
I hope that readers will enjoy At Home in Mitford and that it will inspire them to reflect on their own lives and communities.
