A memoir being released in Fall of 2025

A memoir about re-designing my life – this book intimately shares my journey moving from the city to a small town in the country, where I attempted to become something of a pioneer woman.

With my husband and four daughters in tow, having adventures and misadventures remodeling a very old house, I ultimately discovered causes and cures for my anxiety ridden life.

A memoir being released in Spring of 2026

 

Have you ever endured a remodeling project only to have demolition occur to your soul as well as your home?  Have you been disappointed by missed dead-lines, disappearing sub-contractors, delays in deliveries, all which make you swear never to do this again?  This book is for you. 

Told humorously with fictional characters and anecdotes, solutions to your remodeling woes are possible.
