Welcome to the world of Elmwood Springs, Missouri and to the "Neighbor Dorothy" radio show. This story is set in a small town in the 1940s. It follows the lives of its denizens, especially Dorothy Smith, who runs a daily radio show out of her living room, and her family. It is a warm, wonderful, and cozy trip to a time that looks better in retrospect than it probably did in real life. Still, despite its good old days quality, it was lots of fun reading about the mostly goodhearted folks who traipse through the novel.
This story is a look at life in a small town in the old days. I loved this book and I have read it repeatedly.
