The setting of Heat Lightning (1931) by Helen Hull is based on Albion, Michigan. As the Persephone Perspective says, it features one of literature's finest grandmothers. "When we first catch sight of Madam Westover, she is, in true and undying pioneer spirit, peeling and canning her own peaches – a vivid domestic manifestation of the generation divide" because her daughter buys her canned produce. The photo is of a multi-generation family canning peaches in 1934. The post was written last weekend. Little did we imagine we would be uploading it on Wednesday morning through a mist of tears.
