New York Times bestselling author Virginia Kantra is the author of almost thirty novels. She is married to her college sweetheart, a coffee shop owner who keeps her well supplied with caffeine and material. They make their home in North Carolina, where they raised three (mostly adult) children. She is a firm believer in the strength of family, the importance of storytelling, and the power of love.
"This might be my favorite Virginia Kantra book! Perfectly
emotionally pitched and delicately fierce, I don’t know how Kantra
manages to capture the 'looking for home inside yourself' spirit of
Wizard of Oz in such a contemporary way, but she does. I loved
it!"—Sonali Dev, USA Today bestselling author of The Vibrant
Years
"In this vivid reimagining of Dorothy's journey to the Emerald
City, Kantra serves up a fresh, empowering tale of a young American
in Dublin—out of her comfort zone and off on a quest to rebuild her
life after a tornado of humiliation and heartbreak. The Fairytale
Life of Dorothy Gale is a poignant novel about recovery from the
deepest wounds, the true meaning of home, and the delicious
satisfaction of regaining control of one's own story."—Amy
Poeppel, award-winning author of The Sweet Spot
“Virginia Kantra excels at bringing fresh life to American classic
heroines. Fans of Dorothy and her journey will adore the new
Dee!”—New York Times bestselling author KJ Dell’Antonia
“Virginia Kantra takes on another beloved classic, bringing The
Wizard of Oz into modern times and putting her own charming twist
on it. Dee is a delightful heroine, and it’s immensely satisfying
to watch her make friends and rebuild her life after public
humiliation destroyed her. The Dublin setting and the
swoony-yet-surprising love story are the icing on the cake of this
lovely homage to a classic.”—Kerry Winfrey, author of Faking
Christmas
"Both deliciously escapist and emotionally honest, this book is a
rare gem. Kantra is a deft, wise writer at the top of her
game."—Barbara O’Neal, author of The Starfish Sisters
