Publisher's Summary

Thousands of readers have come home to Mitford, the little town with the big heart, whose endearing and eccentric residents have become like family members. But now change is coming to the hamlet. Father Tim, the Episcopal rector, and his wife Cynthia are pondering retirement; a brash new mayoral candidate is calling for aggressive development; a suspicious realtor with plans for a health spa is eyeing the beloved house on the hill; and, worst of all, the Sweet Stuff Bakery may be closing. Meanwhile, ordinary people are leading the extraordinary lives that hundreds of thousands of readers have found so inviting and inspiring. Peopled with the lovable cast of characters familiar to so many, and peppered with plenty of new and colorful personalities, Out to Canaan is filled to the brim with the mysteries and miracles that make everyday life worth living, and that make Mitford one of the most memorable small towns in recent literature.

Why abridge it ?!

Love Jan Karon and although I prefer Jon McDonough I did not mind Jan’s narration however I hate abridged books . It leaves way too much out . I hate that some people may only hear this and never know the richness of the full story .

Out to Canaan abridged

I originally was disappointed that the unabridged version was no longer available, but I actually enjoyed listening to Jan Karon the author reading this abridged version. I love listening to Jan’s voice and it was nice to hear her reading one of her books.

Very disappointing

One of my favourite things about these audiobooks is the narrator John McDonough! And although he is listed as the narrator, the recording is not him. Very disappointing. I don’t even want to listen to it anymore.
