America's Greatest Patriot! "GRANNY D"

Doris Haddock -Scottsdale, Arizona

The Amazing Granny D!

The extraordinary book has been required reading for incoming freshmen at a number of colleges and universities. Here's what people say about Doris and her book:

“Doris Haddock is a true patriot, and our nation has been blessed by her remarkable life. Her story will entertain, inform, and inspire people of all ages for generations to come.” – Jimmy Carter

“Doris, your book is one of a half dozen –including Silent Spring and Walden– which have turned my life around.” – Pete Seeger

“The soul of a citizen shines through these pages.” – Bill Moyers

“A stunning portrait of the American soul.” – Library Journal

“Huck is present in this book, as are Thoreau and Whitman, and Jack Kerouac, too.” – Keene Sentinel

Library Journal:"Granny D" Haddock is a national treasure whose l4-month odyssey walking from Los Angeles to Washington, DC, galvanized the hope of many increasingly dispirited Americans for campaign finance reform. Granny D undertook this journey despite arthritis and emphysema, celebrating her 90th birthday along the way. Following her daily regimen of ten miles, Haddock wrote nightly for two hours. The resulting journal, written with Burke, who accompanied her on the trek, is a multilayered memoir, populist reform treatise, roadside nature field book, Whitmanesque treatment of America, and philosophical summation of a life well spent. It is chock–full of portraits of the countless citizens who welcomed, joined, cared for, and walked with Haddock. Her graceful descriptions of the manifold kindness routinely shown her are collectively a stunning portrait of the American soul. Fortunately, numerous speeches she gave along the way are included as an appendix. Like the rest of the book, they are imbued with the beautifully passionate intelligence and caring spirit of this remarkable individual. To her wonderfully long life as a New Hampshire wife, mother, grandmother, great–grandmother, and social activist, Haddock should now also be able to add "best-selling author." Shame on any library that does not order this book. [Preview in Prepub Alert, LJ 12.00.]

It has been a VERY long time since America has seen a patriot of THIS calibre! Doris, at the age of 90, walked across America, from Pasadena, California to Washington DC. It was a feat most young people would never attempt!

Doris gave me her original road atlas, she marked it with a marker for my 5000 mile walk from Seattle-LA-PHX-Dallas-DC. My walk was schedule to launch July 4, 2007. Instead my father began his death process. My plans were forever altered in those months.

Doris already did THE walk. I sought advice of marketing agents, publicists and Doris's co-author and organizer Dennis Burke.

Spirit encouraged me, through the right people, and right events, to take on an equally powerful cause in a different format.

The world stands on the edge of massive change. Some say it is the end of humanity. I say it is only the end of humanity as we understand it! It is the beginning of something new and better!

Instead of walking for pure water/ pure food, in places I would too often not be heard, I am now moving my way across the United States, Canada and Europe to carry a message of Hope for Humanity through "The Messages from Water"; the research of Dr. Masaru Emoto.

Dr. Emoto rewarded my hard work for this cause by giving me all of his data, telling me I am the only Hado Instructor in the world to have all his material!

I was very honored to be acknowledged like this. It is a huge responsibility! So in the essence of devoted Doris Haddock, I march on across the globe to open humanity's heart to the truth within!

Doris is my way shower, my beloved mentor! She is outspoken, powerful, fearless, driven, purposeful, humorous, quit-witted, alert, aware and one of the most gifted orators for integrity in American politics ever!

If you have not met this amazing soul, I HIGHLY encourage you to go to her website and get to know her! You will never be the same! That's a PROMISE!

With Love and Gratitude, Appreciation and Admiration, I Thank God for the Gift of Granny D! I will never be the same! I wish this, with all my heart, for you also!

Buy her book! Give it to friends and family! They will be very grateful you did!
