The year is 1896, in Kansas, and a tornado is hitting the area, and 11-year-old Dorothy Gale and her dog go missing. They’re found four days later in a field. When asked where she was, Dorothy tells the tale of being in Oz, and killing a wicked witch, and nobody believes her. When a local, mean spinster is found dead, Dorothy is put on trial for her murder, since she claimed to have killed a witch and was sentenced to an insane asylum. Dr. Evelyn Grace Wilford comes to town to investigate the case, she doesn’t think Dorothy did it, and soon finds shocking evidence and secrets about what really has been going on. She also sends all her notes to her cousin, who is the writer Frank Baum, who of course wrote The Wizard Of Oz. This is an interesting, intense new look at the life of Dorothy Gale, that you will not want to put down.
