    Dorothy Lynn Dunbar has it all; a loving family and a fiance that is a preacher just like her daddy. Hours spent in the woods playing her brother's guitar make her life complete, but she aches to know more of the outside world and all it has to offer. She feels claustrophobic and tied down to the small town of Heron's Nest that is her birthplace and home, yet imagines life in the big city.

    When an opportunity rises to go visit her sister in St. Louis, she is fascinated by the fancy cars, movies, dancing, and daring fashions of the Roaring Twenties. She meets an evangelist who happens to be a woman, and like a moth to flame, Dorothy is drawn to her. Will she join the McPherson evangelistic team or go home to her family and fiance? Will the temptations of the times prove to be too great for a small town girl like herself?

    As with every generation, there is a curiosity about the world. Whether you grew up in a Christian home or not, young people always want to know what's on the other side of the fence. Dorothy is faced with all these curiosities and more, and Pittman takes us on a journey that could be any one of us. No matter which generation you are from, or even where you're from, you will relate to Dorothy's struggles and temptations. All of us were there at one point; the desire to grow up, to find who we are, and to discover what we truly believe. The line of morality is either crossed or respected. But in the end, it is the choices Dorothy makes that essentially make her who she is and who she became. A very good novel about growing up, relevant to either gender of any age.

    I enjoyed the two voices used to narrate this story. I enjoyed guessing what happens next and who each person could be. The detail in the descriptions is nicely done, especially in descriptions of the setting. Humor and emotion combine to keep the reader's interest. As mentioned in a note from the author, she explores issues of faith, and she does it in a lovely way in an easy-to-read story.

    I loved this book. An innovative twist on "The Prodigal Son." I loved the time period and the conflict felt by Dorothy (main character) and the narration. It grabbed me from the beginning and I didn't want to put it down.

    Dorothy Lynn Dunbar is celebrating her 100+ birthday and is remembering her life as a young unmarried lady. The reader is kept guessing if she married her preacher fiancée or the evangelist's right hand man who discovered Dorothy Lynn and her music and kept encouraging her to leave her little town and experience more.

    Dorothy Lynn is visited by her long lost relative on her birthday, her relative that actually took the time to learn about her and her music and gave her some closure to her life.

    This book gave an interesting little peek into the roaring 20's and the struggles a preacher's daughter soon to be preacher's wife might experience when having a chance to explore the world.
