You mean, it takes a village?
Lynne Cheney wrote a memoir and TIME ran "10 Questions"

Here is her reply to what it was growing up in a small town:

As I was growing up, my mother worked for the police department, and I think every patrol car in town was following me. I think that's a symbol of how the community as a whole watched over children. And in a small town, everything you did was noticed. If you won an award, your picture would be in the paper right alongside John Foster Dulles.
