Damn you Dorothy, and at the same time, thank you from the bottom of my heart! From me, and hopefully, countless other readers you have said, in your simple prose, the way life is for many of us. This story of Dorothy’s life is engaging, charming, enthralling - and it’s all true. Her life is an ordinary one - she is ordinary and extraordinary - like so many of we Aussies. Yet this lady had the temerity to write it down. What a fantastic chronicle of life in the west (of Australia) - most of us hug the eastern seaboard and pay faint notice to that part of Aussie. But there thrives families, characters, so much humour, dreams, lost dreams - and the chase for a miracle. Dorothy will never win a major literary prize for this book because it is written in such heart-felt reality style that the literary critics will frown. All I say, is that this telling of life in Australia - falling in love, marrying, having kids, making a living, divorcing and being so strong (what a lady) is as True Blue as you can get. Buy this book, read it, tell your friends and rejoice in the life you have - and maybe write a book about it! Dorothy did and I loved it.! ends Wendy O’Hanlon - Noosa Journal
