Customer Reviews

Delightful reading

I can't say enough good things about this lady's writing. These novels are such a delight to read. They are entertaining, comical and inspirational all at once. When I need cheering or feel the need to "visit" a charming hometown, I go to Partonville. I'm hoping she writes many, many sequels of these folks!

Good reading!

I love "Dearest Dorothy".....she is the best neighbor in the world. We need more "real live Dorothys". If you haven't read any of the "D D" books...start at the beginning and don't stop! You will fall in love with her and her friends!

Can't wait for the next installment

Good fiction ought to make you stay up to read until there's no more to read and darn it, the book is over. That's how I feel about the Partonville crowd. Charlene has developed enough interesting characters that subplots can unfurl around Dorothy. I loved the fact that one of the main characters, Rick, isn't even present. This speaks so much more to my Midwest born and bred condition than Jan Karon's Southern Mitford. Can't wait for number six.

The love and fun continues

Dearest Dorothy continues to pull the people of their little town together in love and understanding and prayer. The characters of these stories tug at your heart and make the reader eager for the next story. I encourage anyone to read this series of books for a truly heart warming experience.
