An anthology written to honor the life of DBF, aka Dottie. I definitely liked some of the stories better than the others. I didn‘t love it but am glad I read it.

robinb I have this one on my TBR because I‘m such a DBF fan. Hers was a terrible loss. 😔 3y

A litany of authors wrote short stories inspired by Queen Bee herself-Dorothea Benton Frank. I fell in love with DBF's low country when I read "Folly Beach"♥️ My book club read Summer of'69. Now Elin Hildebrand fast forwards 10 years with Summer of'79 with the Nichols Foley Levin family after the death of their matriarch Exalta. Hildebrand dedicated her book "28 Summers" to DBF "Dottie" to those who knew and loved her best. Rest in Peace DBF♥️
