It's easy to feel at home in Mitford. In these high, green hills, the air is pure, the village is charming, and the people are generally lovable. Yet Father Tim, the bachelor rector, wants something more. Enter a dog the size of a sofa who moves in and won't go away. Add an attractive neighbor who begins wearing a path through the hedge. Now, stir in a lovable but unloved boy, a mystifying jewel theft, and a secret that's 60 years old.

Secrets told in the church ladies' room are supposed to stay in the ladies' room. But that doesn't mean that what Trudy overhears there during her great-aunt Gertrude's funeral won't change the rest of her life. Trudy has a daughter in the middle of a major rebellion, a two-timing husband who has been cheating for their entire married life, and a mother with Alzheimer's residing in the local nursing home.

In the charming town of Smithville, Texas, Brooke Holloway is raising two young children on her own, supporting them by running the family hardware store. The last thing on her mind is falling in love. But she’s intrigued when a stranger moves to town and buys the old Hadley mansion. She’s always heard that house holds a secret - maybe even a treasure - and she can’t wait to see inside. When she meets the new owner and they spend time together, she can’t deny the attraction. Could God be giving her another chance at happiness? Or is she betraying her late husband’s memory?

Everyone is talking about Jennie Sue Baker and the mess she made of her life in New York. The former high school queen bee - and wealthy darling of Bloom, Texas - has returned home after all these years, riding on a common bus and bearing two bounced alimony checks. In a town that thrives on gossip, Jennie’s fall from grace has shamed her mother, set the town buzzing, and caused old, jealous enemies to whisper in delight. They say she’s taken a job as a housekeeper, gotten a garage apartment, and might be crushing on Rick Lawson, a simple farmer with modest dreams.

In A Scattered Life, Karen McQuestion proves to be an adept chronicler of unforgettable female characters. Poignantly written, she thoughtfully examines how women love, learn, and come to accept themselves and others, as well as life’s often harsh realities of deception and loss. Skyla Plinka has all she could ask for - at least that’s what her mother-in-law Audrey thinks. On most days, Skyla agrees, yet there’s a part of her that longs for her free-spirited days before husband, child, and the humdrum life of rural Wisconsin.

This excellent series needed different reader(s)
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
First year marketing students who are studying what not to do to a good author's work.
What did you like best about this story?
The wonderful interplay of the title character and her immediate "hooker" friends.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator is afflicted with the inability to read the male characters with any real, um, 'masculinity'. Even the adult males sound as if they've spent just a bit too much time watching Oprah without a break. The adolescent characters? Forget it! Josh (as well as the others) needed to sound more masculine.
At times, in certain plot segments, it became a distracting focal point that made listening without ill-timed laughter next to impossible.
That, coupled with fewer appearances from Dorothy, made us begin to wander mentally as the audio book was playing. (Shopping chores, oil changes due, etc).
We eventually became bored, and completely lost interest in this whole series, in view of the title character, Dorothy, being reduced to little more than a brand; only trotted out occasionally to sell more 'product'.
It's a shame. The series started out so strong, and was *almost* starting to be a contender worthy of the Mitford series by Jan Karon. Alas, it was not meant to be. Unfortunately, it sounds as if some 'editor' got a hold of it, and then made matters worse by listening to a marketing exec. A real shame. Very sad.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Initially, great joy, at times humor, but as the series started to unravel from poor editing, a great deal of sadness.
