Introducing the irrepressible Dearest Dorothy and the cozy country town of PartonvilleFor the legions of readers who enjoy books that celebrate life's simple pleasures, eighty-seven-year-old Dorothy Jean Wetstra and her beloved farming town of Partonville, Illinois, will become instant favorites. In this hilarious, touching series, Charlene Ann Baumbich introduces readers to Dearest Dorothy, who tools around town in a 1976 Lincoln Continental nicknamed "The Tank," plays bunco regularly with her pals, and grabs a stool at Harry's counter often enough to stay on top of the latest-breaking news—which she is often creating. In the series debut, Dearest Dorothy, Are We There Yet?, Dorothy faces a decision that may change her town forever, and her gift for shaking things up comes in handy. In the second book, Dearest Dorothy, Slow Down, You're Wearing Us Out!, the town's irresistible cast of characters is back in full swing as they confront some of the many surprises life sends their way. So pull up a chair and get ready for fireworks, laughter, and we'll-get-through-it-all-with-faith friendships.

Apparently I forgot to ever review this...my church library has the whole series, and I really need to go back and finish them all.
Dorothy and The Tank (her big car) are hilarious and memorable characters in a small town. The fate of Dorothy's farm is up for discussion, and there are newcomers to town...Dorothy and her sweet, gossipy friends are sure to be on top of everything in this town. I particularly enjoyed how Dorothy is in her eighties and still going strong!
This will be an enjoyable read for lovers of the Mitford series.
