| Set in Partonville, a circle-the-square town in the northern part of southern Illinois, farming and progress meet head on. Dorothy Jean Wetstra ("like wet straw but without the W on the end"), 87, is the town's spunky matriarch, in her own glorious and time-honored way, but she's far from perfect. Her relationship with "the Big Guy" is filled with every-day talk like, "Dear Lord, DO SOMETHING!" Riotous fun, the adventures of the Wild Musketeers, Partonville's senior citizens softball team, struggles with change and strong family, intergenerational and transforming relationships drive the stories down the country roads and right into your heart.

| "I haven't read anything in a long time that made me feel like this. I'm right there in Partonville, with all the others!" "Some wonderful insights into character's hearts!" "Will there be another "Dearest Dorothy" book? I hate to think we have left Partonville for good." "I opened your books this morning and started reading, and I'm blown away by the writing. Oh, man. You are good"¦" |
"I just finished reading both "Dearest Dorothy" books...and loved them! Is there another one coming down the pike?" "I put the rest of my life on hold long enough to finish up the second "Dearest Dorothy" book a few moments ago! What treasures these two books are! I laughed, cried, and loved both books as I marveled and wiped away tears! They are books you read with a box of tissues at hand! Do tell me a third one is in the works. I can't stand to leave Pardon Me Ville! I want to go back again! I want to be sure all my "new friends" are doing well." |
