Customer Reviews

I ENJOY THESE BOOKS!

I'm addicted, I think and new ones aren't coming out fast enough. Very charming characters, I feel that I know them. Highly recommend.

delightful

I am glad I discoverd the Dearest Dorothy books. I am quite a fan of Jan Karon's Mitford books and Ann B. Ross's Miss Julia books, and these are in the same vein. They are not as long and the other two author's works, but are delightful on their own. They are just so much fun to read and have wonderful spiritual insights. I have read three of them and have the other two in my 'to read' basket. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you purchase either of them. Dorothy is such a hoot.

Dearest Dorothy, Slow Down, Bk. 2

Usually continuation books are a dissappointment, but not this one. The author continued to bring out the best in her characters, while adding new ones, and making me chuckle (and cry sometimes)all the way through the book. I love Dearest Dorothy! Thank you Charlene Ann Baumbich.

My Dearest Dorothy

What a FANTASTIC series. I am so glad I purchased them all at once. I fell in love with Partonville!! I have passed them on to my mother and then they are going to my mother-in-law. The characters are so well developed! Can't wait for the newest one later this year. =) A great series to read over and over.

Funny and endearing

I have to admit, I don't normally read these type of books, since I'm usually more into the science fiction/fantasy type. I stumbled onto the audiobook version of the Dearest Dorothy series and realized with a shock that I actually liked it! The characters are endearing and can be quite funny sometimes. After awhile, you felt as though you really know these people and are a part of their small community. I liked Dorothy's cheerful attitude. Her closeness to God is actually refreshing. It blends in well with the plot. I'm now hooked to the series and I'm looking forward to buying the latest book.
