I cannot recollect reading a book prior to “Standing in the Rainbow” where the plot of the story travels through so many decades while following so many characters. Beginning in small town America during the 1940’s Neighbor Dorothy is broadcasting a radio show in her living room while publically documenting the daily lives of her family and friends. (I was tickled to know that blogging was not a new idea but has, in fact, been around for a very long time. Just as bloggers of today place banner ads and commission based product reviews on their sites so too did Neighbor Dorothy spread the word about her advertisers. I dare say it is easier now to start a simple blog than it would be to contract with a radio station to set up a broadcasting tower in your back yard!)
