Perfect for you if...

You love character-driven small-town fiction where ordinary people solve real problems together.
You appreciate older protagonists who are sharp, funny, and genuinely mischievous rather than sweet and passive.
You want gentle reading that doesn't talk down to you or rely on saccharine sentiment.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer high-stakes plots with clear villains and dramatic confrontations.
You find small-town settings claustrophobic or worry that cosy fiction will feel slow.
You're looking for dark or challenging themes rather than heartwarming community stories.

About this book

Eighty-seven-year-old Dorothy Wetstra lives on a farm on the outskirts of Partonville, Illinois. She drives a 1976 Lincoln Continental nicknamed "The Tank," plays bunco with friends, and frequents Harry's counter, where she stays informed about local happenings—many of which she initiates herself. When a visitor arrives in town with a proposition, Dorothy faces a decision that could transform both her beloved town and her own life. Her talent for disrupting the status quo may prove valuable as events unfold. This is the first book in a small-town series centered on Dorothy.
