Dorothy Gale. We all know her story and we all think we know her. But do we? What do we really know about Dorothy? Many were introduced to Dorothy in L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." But most of what we know about Dorothy comes from the MGM movie classic.
Imagine, though, that Dorothy was actually a real character who just happened to have an amazing journey that defies explanation. Who would this real Dorothy be? Who were her parents? How did she get to Kansas? Who were the Gales? And what could have happened to her once she got home again?
Dorothy-This Side of the Rainbow is Dorothy's story told in the first person as a memoir of a life well-lived. It takes Dorothy out of the pages of fiction and places her right into the pages of history.
Dorothy answers all our questions as she tells us about her life and her journey along a different Yellow Brick Road. Along the way she not only finds she has a good brain, a big heart and more courage than ten other people.
In this historically accurate memoir Dorothy meets many famous real-life characters...as well as some other fictional characters.
And why did Dorothy write her memoirs? Because as she said "I'm going to write my life story not because I'm famous or even accomplished, but because I believe every life is a story and every story should come to life."
