Mitford, North Carolina is a fictional small town, where, as its residents say – they “take care of their own.” It’s also the small town where The New York Times bestselling Mitford novels take place. Join us as we talk to about author Jan Karon about her latest work in the series,“To Be Where You Are.” We also learn about her journey as a writer and find out how she develops her characters.
What questions do you have about Mitford or any of the characters who live there? Be a part of the conversation by emailing ideas@wpr.org, posting on the Ideas Network Facebook page and tweeting at @lmeillershow.
