Another Hat: a Sequel Dorothy Lee

A sequel to Under My Hat, Another Hat finds Lettie as mayor of Denata, her small town. She is elected by a write-in vote while on her honeymoon. Having worked many years as a hair stylist, Lettie is not a politician and has no knowledge of how to lead a community. But she is a hard worker and a fast learner, and she quickly informs herself of the town's needs. Then she begins to recommend changes. Changes pose a threat to the contented community. Lettie soon has the townspeople worried and the town council riled. Even worse, her full-speed-ahead approach and her workaholic style often distress her husband Clint, a country lawyer and former mayor of the town. Many of Lettie's friends and clients from Under My Hat are major characters in this book also. At the same time that they provide support for her projects, they also tell her honestly what the people in town are saying regarding her performance as mayor. For better or for worse, by twists and turns, Denata is pulled into the twenty-first century. Denata may be a typical small town. But Lettie is not a typical mayor.
