Dorothy Gale. We all know her story and we all think we know her. But do we? What do we really know about Dorothy? Many were introduced to Dorothy in L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." But most of what we know about Dorothy comes from the MGM movie classic. Imagine, though, that Dorothy was actually a real character who just happened to have an amazing journey that defies explanation. Who would this real Dorothy be? Who were her parents? How did she get to Kansas? Who were the Gales? And what could have happened to her once she got home again? Looking for a Rainbow โ The Story of Dorothy takes Dorothy out of the pages of fiction and places her right into the pages of history. Dorothy answers all some of our questions as we learn about her life outside of Oz. It is both an American tale as well as a coming of age story. (A complete version of Dorothyโs life can be found in Dorothy โ This Side of the Rainbow.)
