Reader's Digest CyberSmiles An author was coming to my local bookstore to discuss her novel set in Appalachia. The main character was "a strong-willed heroine fighting to survive the hardships of the times." When I went to the reading, I was disappointed to learn the writer had canceled her appearance. The reason? She didn't want to drive in the rain.  --Contributed to "Life in These United States" by Diane Marshall Smiles, grins & humor from the files of Reader's Digest!
