Granny D's American Century

Granny D's American Century
- Great product!
With her walk across America at the age of 90, New Hampshire native Doris Haddock entered the national consciousness as â€œGranny D,â€ a candid and feisty champion of commonsense populist politics. Four years later she ran for the U.S. Senate against the usual entrenched big-party interestsâ€”and lost. In the meantime, she became a cause cÃ©lÃ¨bre, and an example of the kind of politics that puts people first. Granny Dâ€™s American Century is the story of Doris Haddock both before and after these events: as a young woman whose bedrock New England values were tested during the Great Depression, and as a no-nonsense nonagenarian putting those values to work in the causes of votersâ€™ rights, womenâ€™s rights, and campaign finance reform.

Written in a clear, unsparing prose, Granny Dâ€™s American Century is a warm reflection on a life well lived, and a clear and spirited call for virtue in American civic life.
