Charlene Ann Baumbich has won a loyal following of readers with
the first three books in the Dearest Dorothy series, featuring the
amusing and touching adventures of the townspeople of Partonville.
Now Charlene Baumbich uses her wonderful gift of storytelling to
celebrate the simple pleasures of life in this heartwarming and
hilarious story. The fourth book in the series finds the residents
of Partonville preparing for a festive Thanksgiving dinner at the
local church. Amid assigning duties and preparing recipes, everyone
tries to ignore bossy acting mayor Gladys McKern. Meanwhile,
Jessica Joy struggles with an unexpected turn of events, Katie
Durbin considers another real estate project, and Dearest Dorothy
doles out advice and love in equal amounts to everyone.
The award-winning author of the dearest dorothy novels, called by
"Guideposts ""one of today's most popular and bestloved Christian
humorists," motivates readers to laugh, play, and relish the good
things in life.
Charlene Ann Baumbich has always spoken and written about the
layers of life just as she sees them--slightly off-center, mostly
dead-on, and always through the lens of grace. With "Don't Miss
Your Life "Charlene Ann Baumbich's creative pedal is to the floor,
her cranky gallbladder has been "left behind," and her storytelling
is in full swing. Fasten your seatbelts
With her signature warmth and candor, Charlene offers readers
insight on how to become their own best storytellers of what God is
doing in their lives. She does far more than show why it is so
important to slow down, enjoy our blessings, and not take things so
seriously. She encourages everyone to build a "memory portfolio" of
special life moments, and in doing so to grow in wisdom, learning
how to see God's hand in our daily lives is the key to a rich and
fulfilling life.
Home is where the heart is-and this Partonville homecoming will
warm the hearts of all Dearest Dorothy fans this fall
The colorful characters of Partonville, Illinois, are back once
again to delight Charlene Ann Baumbich's ever-growing legion of
fans. Dorothy is thrilled that her attorney son Jacob is moving
back to their hometown and wonders if he might help Katie Durbin
with more than legal matters. Meanwhile, Partonville's mayoral
elections have just heated up. Incumbent Gladys McKern is being
challenged by Sam Vitner, owner of Swappin' Sam's, whose campaign
slogan is "McKern's had her turn Time to SWAP VITNER for Mayor "
And the contest to name Katie's new mini-mall incites competition
and a mad dash of entries. Through it all, Dorothy's spirit and the
Partonvillers' antics will keep readers wanting to circle the town
square again and again.
Charlene Ann Baumbich's two heartwarming Dearest Dorothy novels
have transported thousands to a little Midwestern town where the
ups and downs of everyday life have charmed readers and left them
clamoring for more. Of course, the character everyone has come to
love is the feisty former bandleader, 87-year-old Dorothy Jean
Wetstra. Now in "Dearest Dorothy, Help I?ve Lost Myself "
Partonville marks its centennial plus thirty?by arguing over the
best way to celebrate it. Meanwhile, the acting mayor is trying to
change a vital part of the town square (but it's always been that
way ) and a newcomer named Katie can't avoid the suspicion that
she's grown far closer to this quirky little place than she had
ever intended. Delightful and touching, this tale is every bit as
addictive as its predecessors.

simple pleasures, eighty-seven-year-old Dorothy Jean Wetstra and

Baumbich introduces readers to Dearest Dorothy, who tools around

is often creating. In the series debut, Dearest Dorothy, Are We
There Yet?, Dorothy faces a decision that may change her town
forever, and her gift for shaking things up comes in handy. In the
second book, Dearest Dorothy, Slow Down, You're Wearing Us Out ,
