Recently retired after years of serving as the rector of Lord's Chapel, Father Tim agrees to pastor a parish in the coastal town of Whitecap. There's only one problem: how can he and Cynthia leave the town -- and the boy -- they love? Soon, however, the charming island of Whitecap reveals its own cast of unforgettable characters: a lovelorn bachelor trying his hand at personal ads, a church organist with a mysterious past, a gifted musician who never ventures beyond his gate, and a young mother struggling with depression. Though Father Tim and Cynthia are immersed in the challenges and quiet victories that make a community special, the high, green hills of Mitford are never far from their minds -- especially when Father Tim's ward, Dooley ends up on the wrong side of the law.
