Of all her bestselling novels, Jan Karon says In the Company of Others, this "dark-haired child," is her favorite-a sentiment readers everywhere are certain to share. The lovable Father Tim and his wife, Cynthia, arrive in Ireland, intent on researching his Kavanagh ancestry from the comfort of a charming fishing lodge. The charm, however, is broken when Cynthia startles a burglar and sprains her already-injured ankle. Then a cherished and valuable painting is stolen from the lodge owners and Cynthia's pain pales in comparison to the wound at the center of this bitterly estranged Irish family. In the Company of Others is a moving testament to the desperate struggle to hide the truth at any cost and our powerful need to confess.
