For so many years, my husband has lauded the emotional solidity of midwesterners: stoic, humble, without affectation! But these aren’t the kinds of people who provide good memoir material. Imagine the jacket copy: People behaved mostly well and then they died.

I never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird.

I see a woman may be made a fool,  If she had not a spirit to resist.

Whatever you are by nature, keep to it; never desert your line of talent. Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed.
