Welcome to the World, Baby Girl! is the funny, serious, and compelling new novel by Fannie Flagg, author of the beloved Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (and prize-winning co-writer of the classic movie). Once again, Flagg's humor and respect and affection for her characters shine forth. Many inhabit small-town or suburban America. But this time, her heroine is urban: a brainy, beautiful, and ambitious rising star of 1970s television. Dena Nordstrom, pride of the network, is a woman whose future is full of promise, her present rich with complications, and her past marked by mystery.

If you could sum up Welcome to the World, Baby Girl in three words, what would they be?
Entertaining, Enveloping, Addicting
What did you like best about this story?
The introduction of Elmwood Springs and the thread of activity of the the town running throughout this book. It gives Dina's life an attachment to it, although she herself rejects their craziness. Giving us the main story of Dina Nordstrom's life as only Flagg cab tell it, it is strong, touching and quite funny. Dina as a baby throughout her life, becoming a strong independent woman to softening her to something she herself, never saw.
What about Fannie Flagg’s performance did you like?
Fannie Flagg reads these stories just as she has written them. We get he the benefit of the nuances and characteristic voices that she has meant them to have. I truly enjoy her storytelling.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Welcome, to the World you never knew you missed!
Any additional comments?
Love the narration of Fannie Flagg. Her storytelling brings her books to life. The book is the beginning of world of Elmwood Springs, featuring one of it's characters, Dina Nordstrom.

Once again, Fannie Flagg gives us a story of richly human characters, the saving graces of the once-maligned middle classes and small-town life, and the daily contest between laughter and tears. Fannie truly writes from the heartland, and her storytelling is, to quote Time, "utterly irresistible."

I absolutely love the entire Elmwood City series.

Where does Standing in the Rainbow rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Standing in the Rainbow, and the rest of the series, just engulfs you into the story. It's being read by the author just makes it that much better, as she reads it as she has meant it to be heard. Very entertaining following the lives of her quirky characters and hometown feel. Listening to this author is listening to a true storyteller.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Standing in the Rainbow?
Anna Lee's Prom night finale. She finds out, again, what having a little brother means!
And...anything "Aunt Elner" and "Norma"!
Which scene was your favorite?
I love all the radio show days. How Dorothy speaks about all of the goings on each day.
In particular when Mrs. Oatman attacks Mother Smith's organ, with her gusto!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Doc get the prescription in the pharmacy for his Dorothy. I will not write any more so you can hear it in the story, as it is read.
Any additional comments?
You will certainly be looking forward to listening the the rest of the Elmwood City books to hear more about the characters she has introduced you to in Welcome to the World, Baby Girl!
*My only disappointment is that these stories are abridged, but being read by the author makes up for it.
