Description: 

"Saulsbury, Tennessee" is a real town in Tennessee, about 70 miles east of Memphis and a few miles north of the border between Tennessee and Mississippi (507). On the road just south of Saulsbury is where the story ends, but it seems that for Lena, who has the novel's last words, it is only the next place on her journey - or as she puts it, "My, my. A body does get around" (507).
