A House Shared is a parable told in the form of a modern day novel that introduces a new way to solve the housing crisis found in many North American cities. The story starts with a cutthroat fight for dominance in the security software industry that leads a family into a unimaginable challenge they aren’t sure can be solved. Then by living through a gut wrenching set of circumstances and suffering a tragic accident their situation creates the necessity for invention. When providence strikes, an epiphany leads to a new idea built on a discovery that initially occurred 70 years ago. Following many trials and tribulations the story transports the reader though to a surprising and uplifting conclusion.
