My mother and I went to Cross Creek to a special event at the home of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings yesterday. My mother has read all of her books and I am rereading Cross Creek. Rawlings was a gifted writer and the book brings insight into this area where we are now living and the life of the Crackers. It was also interesting to realize that she entertained such personages as Hemingway, Robert Frost, Gregory Peck (who starred in The Yearling), Margaret Mitchell etc. We had a delightful lunch at The Yearling restaurant nearby.
