It's 1958 and there is a new family living next door to Mrs. Dowdel . . . a family that desperately needs her help whether they know it or not. There's 12 year old Bob who is shy and being picked on by bullies. There's 14 year old Phyllis who is obsessed with Elvis Presley. There's 6 year old Ruth Ann who is looking for a larger than life role model. And there are their parents, a young minister and his wife, who are adjusting to small town life. As they go through the fall season from the start of school to Christmas, they'll realize just how special Mrs. Dowdel is and all the gifts she's given them.
This is a companion novel to Long Way from Chicago and A Year Down Yonder. I really enjoyed listening to these books on audio. The narration is wonderful. The stories are fun, lively, and interesting. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a fun read or listen.
