Wonderful Memories

I cried as I listened to this as Dorothea Benton Frank was the first author I listened to on Audible...the memories of her children and friends were simply beautiful...I've purchased and read just about all of her books...she's surely missed...

I’m crying

Oh how I love and miss Dottie! I was blessed to meet her at a book signing in 2005 and then again chatting with her at the Charleston Airport as we were both coming home. This was AMAZING

Wonderful tribute to a super writer and person!

I had enjoyed tremendously her stories. It has been a big loss. I admire the tribute that all her friends had put together!
Thank you for all you do!
