										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Laughter and wedding bells ring as Jan Karon takes her millions of fans back in time to the most cherished event in Mitford! Mitford&#8217;s Lord&#8217;s Chapel seats barely two hundred souls, yet millions of Jan Karon&#8217;s fans will be there for the most joyful event in years: the wedding of Father Tim Kavanagh and Cynthia Coppersmith. Here at last is A Common Life, and the long-awaited answers to these deeply probing questions: Will Father Tim fall apart when he takes his vows? Will Cynthia make it to the church on time? Who&#8217;ll arrange the flowers and bake the wedding cake? And will Uncle Billy&#8217;s prayers for a great joke be answered in time for the reception? All the beloved Mitford characters will be there: Dooley Barlowe, Miss Sadie and Louella, Emma Newland, the mayor; in short, everybody who&#8217;s anybody in the little town with the big heart. A Common Life is the perfect gift for Mother&#8217;s Day, Father&#8217;s Day, anniversaries, and for a bride or groom to give to his or her beloved. In truth, it&#8217;s perfect for anyone who believes in laughter, relies on hope, and celebrates love.</p>
