Threaded throughout is the spirit of her beloved hometown in New HampshireâThornton Wilderâs inspiration for Groverâs Corners in Our Townâa quintessentially American center of New England pluck, Yankee ingenuity, and can-do attitude.Told in Dorisâs vivid and unforgettable voice, Granny D will move and delight readers with its clarion message that one person can indeed make a difference.
