About the Book

In February 2000, ninety-year-old Doris "Granny D" Haddock became a national heroine when she completed her 3,200-mile, fourteen-month walk from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., to bring attention to the issue of campaign finance reform. Granny D recalls and celebrates an exuberant life of love, ac-tivism, and adventure--from one-woman feminist plays in the thirties, to stopping nuclear testing near an Eskimo fishing village in 1963, to her current crusade. Threaded throughout is the spirit of her beloved hometown in New Hampshire--Thornton Wilder's inspiration for Grover's Corners in Our Town--a quintessentially American center of New England pluck, Yankee ingenuity, and can-do attitude. Told in Doris's vivid and unforgettable voice, Granny D will move and delight readers with its clarion message that one person can indeed make a difference.

Review :
"Doris Haddock is a true patriot, and our nation has been blessed by her remarkable life. Her story will entertain, inform, and inspire people of all ages for generations to come." --Jimmy Carter "I believe she represents all that is good in America. She has taken up this struggle to clean up American politics. . . . Granny D, you exceed any small, modest contributions those of us who have labored in the vineyards of reform have made to this earth. We are grateful for you." --Senator John McCain "A multilayered memoir, populist reform treatise, roadside nature field book, Whitmanesque treatment of America, and philosophical summation of a life well spent . . . a stunning portrait of the American soul." --Library Journal "A moving reminder of the power of the human will." --Kirkus Reviews " Doris Haddock is a true patriot, and our nation has been blessed by her remarkable life.
