Dearest Dorothy Slow Down Youre Wearing Us Out

Come visit Partonville, where the oldsters are young at heart, the trees have names, and the characters are just that – characters!

Welcome back to the circle-the-square town of Partonville, where everyday life is grand-that is, when no one’s taken someone else’s lunchtime counter spot at Harry’s! And whether the fur is flying or the jokes are, one person who’s sure to be in the thick of it all is retired former bandleader eighty-seven-year-old Dorothy Wetstra. If she’s gunning her 1976 Lincoln, trying to catch crawdaddies, whipping up an impromptu dinner-party menu of left-overs, talking to the big Guy, making a wisecrack, or giving someone who needs one a big hug, she lives life flat out. Are the changes she’s launching in her own life going to change her town forever-a town where not many people relish change the way Dorothy does? How it all turns out will surprise and delight you-and make you fonder than ever of Partonvilles’s cast of characters, who will step right off the page and into your heart.
