Dorothy Jones

"Dorothy Jones, the quintessential renaissance woman of Jazz Age Harlem, operates an upscale dress shop by day and an exclusive, underworld speakeasy by night from her posh Sugar Hill brownstone. When Dorothy agrees to hostess an event for mob boss Johnny, Dorothy's longtime friend and bartender, Charlie, serves her hallucinogenic martinis made with Johnny's bootleg gin. After a few drinks, Dorothy awakes to find her speakeasy has crash landed in the Land of Oz. Sporting her new ruby studded stilettos, provided courtesy of the deceased Witch of the East, Dorothy begins her journey to see the Wizard in the Emerald City in hopes he will send her home in time for a meeting to sell her numbers racket. Dorothy does not get far in five-inch stilettos, so she enlists the help of the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion. They are more than happy to help Dorothy for reasons she can neither fathom nor conceive, for unbeknownst to Dorothy, once her stilettos click upon the Yellow Brick Road, she will alter the future of Oz for all time"--
