Having read each and every book in the series, I had a pretty good idea what to expect -- enjoyable, pleasant and worth the time. What I got was a surprise; it was terrific !!! While the book continues to have the small-town flavor which makes the series so appealing, it added new characters and twists to the plot that made it a bit more "current" and fast-paced.

The characters are well-developed and the story enchanting. If you have read the other books in the series, make sure you read this one. If you are just picking it up for the first time, enjoy and appreciate.

I just finished the book and can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed it. I read on my lunch break while working (I'm a home health nurse) and people in the restaurants would look at me as I sat there laughing. Thank you so much for the joy your books bring me.

I've read all the books in the Dearest Dorothy series and have to say, I found this one to be one of the most enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, I've loved them all but this one really just had an extra special something. Charlene does an excellent job in character development and great story lines. I am hoping that there will be another book out soon and that Dorothy is a bit more prominant in the next. As always, a great read and a book to make you think about life and all there is to appreciate about it!

I have read all the "Dearest Dorothy" books and cannot recommend them highly enough. Baumbich has created a world in "Pardon-Me-Ville" that becomes a part of your family allowing you an escape in this overwhelming and overstressed we live in today where neighbor still knows and cares about neighbor. It gives us all a nice break from everyday life.

Just finished reading this, after reading 2 other Dearest Dorothy books. Fun to read and full of very real characters. To me, these books are like a warm home cooked meal on a chilly winter night. They just make you feel good!

Another terrific book in the Dearest Dorothy Series. I highly recommend this book, but start from the beginning of the series to get the full story. This book was a joy!

Let me see if I can remember what I wrote about another one of these Partonville novels. They are simply wonderful; humorous, entertaining and inspirational. They cheer me up and make me feel as if I'm returning to a charming hometown each time. I hope Charlene finds time to pen many, many more sequels of these lovely families!!!

I love the Dearest Dorothy books, and this one was excellent. I enjoyed reading every page, and I felt like I was right there in Partonville.
Great job, Ms. Baumbich!

I had read all the first books, and wanted to continue with this one. It is most enjoyable, and I hate to see the series end. It is a blessing to read books that encourage us to "be our best".

Dearest Dorothy, If Not Now, When?

I loved this series.. Too bad, as I understand, the publishers didn't want to publish the remaining/ending book(s). I'll not be reading her new series.. if publishers don't want to end one, I don't want to be left hanging with another.
