This is a quote (which I love) from an article in the Chicago Tribune:
"In the remains of this exploded life, Joan reaches backward, back to the lessons about fate and fortitude she learned as a girl in a land where the summer sun was as pitiless as the winter wind and the snow along the empty roads could dwarf a man.
When people marvel that she's strong, as they so often do in admiration and bewilderment and relief, she shakes her head, says no, she's not strong. She's just from Kansas."

I read that article this morning, too, and loved that quote!
That made me teary-eyed. How can anyone worth anything have been born anywhere else?
