Rebecca Rule: Could Have Been Worse: True Stories, Embellishments, and Outright Lies 
It's all Yankee. You don't have to claim any particular ethnic heritage, have seven generations in the 
ground, or even have been born in New England to be shaped by this rough, rocky landscape. 
Rebecca Rule explores this attitude and many others that contribute to that highly philosophical, 
peculiar, and often humorous, state of being called “living yankee.”  This book is of true stores, an embellishment here and there, and, yes, outright lies. As only Becky Rule can tell.
