A memoir about one couple's project to renovate a rickety Victorian house and rebuild their own lives - one room at a time. This is a charming, funny and beautifully crafted memoir about a middle aged couple who threw financial caution to the wind to follow their dream of converting a run-down farmhouse into a thriving B & B. Because they had to do the bulk of the work themselves, the project threatened to tear the couple apart, but ultimately brought them closer together - and closer to the rural community into which they had moved. The book is partly an inspirational account about reinventing yourself late in life, part love story and partly a book about a home.
