Synopsis
Barbara Clarke had moved over forty times, renting often and even buying and remodeling a house or two before moving on. Each experience added to her reputation as someone who never stayed anywhere for very long. She eventually settled in a small town in the Pacific Northwest, where she collaborated with an architect and a contractor to build a house. Getting to Home: Sojourn in a Perfect House is a memoir that began as a saga of construction and became the basis for self-discovery. This is the story of how a woman built a house and arrived at a new meaning of home.
