Award-winning journalist Charlene Ann Baumbich delights millions with her endearing Dearest Dorothy novels.

In the quaint Southern Illinois town of Partonville, 88-year-old Dorothy and a colorful cast of townsfolk are all aflutter about a former resident's return, a mini-mall naming contest, and a spirited mayoral campaign.

Dorothy can't believe her 58-year-old son, Jacob, has left his successful Philadelphia law firm and is replacing Partonville's recently deceased lawyer. As the new mini-mall prepares to open, most of the townspeople - spurred on by a generous $100 first prize - are busy trying to create a clever name for it. And excitement builds as incumbent mayor Gladys McKern squares off against a surprising and innovative challenger whose powerful campaign slogans trigger a flurry of emotions in a race that's too close to call.

A mayoral race, a philandering father and a town of good folk. Let the antics fly!

Wish there were more! Funny and sweet characters and settings. Dorothy and her friends are devout and pray often but the books aren't preachy or political. Narrator is the same one who does the Miss Julia books. If you like those or Jan Karon's Mitford series you will enjoy this one. Read them all in order.

Loved this series

I’ve truly enjoyed the Dearest Dorothy series of books. The characters are realistic; full of the same quirkiness we all have. They become like people with whom you will miss visiting. Great job, Ms. Baumbich!
