Home is much more than a physical place or a place we come from; home is a place we aspire to when we first begin to yearn for something more in our lives. This is the home of our heart's desire. In the context of this book, home means leaving behind the safe and familiar to find what is right for each of us. Getting to Oz is a journey of self-discovery that no one can make for us. To get to this new home requires that we leave the nest, a place of safety and security. The promise of this journey is what lies over the rainbow. What we find there is our true home, where we get to claim a life of fulfillment and meaning-the life that we were born to live. Getting to Oz is a culmination of Dr. Deborah Khoshaba's life and her 25-year career helping people to have the courage to face the stresses of living and to forge a deeply meaningful life, no matter what the world throws at them. Inspiring people with her warmth, wisdom, and encouraging ways, Getting to Oz is not just wisdom expressed by an arm-chair philosopher; Deborah lives out what she maintains in this book and has forged a meaningful, rich life despite early hardships. She knows first-hand how to show people the way to Oz, having counseled so many over the years and bringing her own learning to that process. Deborah walks the truth of the wisdom that there is nothing more fulfilling and meaningful than the personal journey we are privileged to have in this life.

Ozma of Oz is the book in Frank Baum's Oz book series. It records the adventures of Oz with Dorothy Gale of Kansas, the Yellow Hen, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, Tiktok, the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger; and other characters. It is the first Oz narrative in which the majority of the events occur outside of Oz. Only the final two chapters are set in Oz. This conveys a slight change in theme: in the first book, Oz is the perilous land through which Dorothy must make her way back to Kansas; in the third, Oz is the book's conclusion and goal. Dorothy's wish to return home is not as strong as it was in the first book, and it is her uncle's need for her rather than her own that compels her to do so.

“Maguire’s work is melodic, symphonic, and beautiful; it is dejected and biting and brave. How great that people flock to these magical novels.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review Bestselling author Gregory Maguire’s remarkable series, The Wicked Years, comes full circle with this, his fourth and final excursion across a darker, richer, more complex landscape of “the magical land of Oz.” Out of Oz brilliantly reimagines L. Frank Baum’s world over the rainbow as wracked with social unrest—placing Glinda the good witch under house arrest and having the cowardly Lion on the lam from the law as the Emerald City prepares to make war on Munchkinland. Even Dorothy makes a triumphant return in Maguire’s magnificent Oz finale—tying up every loose green end of the series he began with his classic Wicked, the basis for the smash hit Broadway musical.
