Product Description
From the Author
Why write a book about a fictional character? Why not? When an author creates a character in a book, the character should come to life. And if that's the case, the life of the character should be real. In most fiction, a character's "reality" is limited to the events covered in the book. But the character's life need not be so limited.

Take L. Farnk Baum's Dorothy from "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." The author only shares with us a very small part of Dorothy's life. We meet her on her Kansas farm, follow her down the yellow brick road, and then return home.

I always believed there was much more to Dorothy's life. As an adoptee, I was attracted to Dorothy because she was an orphan (we had something in common). What happened to her parents? Did she have siblings? How did she wind up in Kansas on a grey farm? And what happened to her after her return?

My book attempts to answer those questions by taking the fictional Dorothy and making her "real." Although my book is a work of fiction, it is written as an autobiography.

Having painstakingly researched a real time in the world (between 1878 and 1928), I have endeavored to pay tribute to a character who millions of readers have fallen in love with.

Here's anotehr chance for you to follow Dorothy along another yellow brick road. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
