  <description><![CDATA[<p>In the sixth full&ndash;length novel in the beloved Harmony series, Pastor Sam Gardner takes a leave of absence from his post at Harmony Friends Meeting to take care of his ailing father. When a woman pastor comes to fill his position, the quirky Quakers fall in love, and it looks like Sam's sabbatical may be permanent. Our favorite characters are back, including Dale Hinshaw, the misquito in everyone's ear. Dale concocts another hair&ndash;brained scheme to bring people to the Lord, but only succeeds in angering his fellow Harmonians. This and more will make the trip back to Harmony worth every page.</p>]]></description>
