Interpretation As Books Granny D: You're Never Too Old to Raise a Little Hell

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.

You can't read this book without coming to love Granny D. Her mission is sincere and from the heart. In addition to stories about her walk across America at the age of 90 to bring attention to the need for campaign reform, she shares stories about her youth and American life as it was in the past. What saddens me is that although her efforts were successful in bringing about campaign finance reform in 2000, the Citizens United case in 2010 has rendered her work null and void. Granny D. died a

You have to admire the passion of Granny D in her walk across the country in a drive for campaign reform. I was inspired to do more to make the world a better place. I was impressed by her eloquence in her speeches as well as the writing of the book. The people she met along the way imparted lessons that are worth learning. I am glad that she didn't live to see the forces of cynicism triumph in the courtroom with Citizens United and the continued prostitution of our politicians, including Mitch
