Standing In The Rainbow

 I read another Fannie Flagg book. This one is called Standing In The Rainbow. The story takes place in Elmwood Springs, Missouri in the years 1946 until the present. One of the main characters; the hub around which the other characters spin, is Dorothy. Dorothy lives in Elmwood Springs and has a daily radio program. Her mother in law plays the piano adding music to the show. Dorothy has a teen aged daughter and a 10 year old son. Her son has a great imagination and lots of ideas but doesn't do so well in school. Dorothy is a huge influence in the life of her neighbors. This wonderful novel is full of small town charm and engaging characters.
