In 1947, the author’s parents, aided by friends and relatives, purchase land and commence a project to build by hand and working part-time, not only a house but a home, for their six young children over a period of a year.

Having successfully completed this seemingly Herculean task and reaffirming the author’s parents as members of the Greatest Generation , the ensuing years will bring many painful and difficult challenges, ultimately causing the home, built out of both need and love, to regress from a home to only a house.

Each member of that home finds themselves having to deal with the trauma that this transformational process brings to both childhood and adult years.
