Publisher Description

A deeply moving story of an epic home renovation in the Pacific Northwest—from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Scent Keeper.

In this mesmerizing memoir-in-essays, Erica Bauermeister renovates a trash-filled house in eccentric Port Townsend, Washington, and in the process takes readers on a journey to discover the ways our spaces subliminally affect us.

A personal, accessible, and literary exploration of the psychology of architecture, as well as a loving tribute to the connections we forge with the homes we care for and live in, this book is designed for anyone who has ever fallen head over heels for a house. It is also a story of a marriage, of family, and of the kind of roots that settle deep into your heart.

Discover what happens when a house has its own lessons to teach in this moving and insightful memoir that ultimately shows us how to make our own homes (and lives) better.
