“This house is perfect!… just about.
If we just knock that one wall out,
And tear the kitchen out and start from scratch...”

So begins the story of a house and the family who moves in, grows up, grows old and moves on. It is a story of new babies and of retirement, leaking pipes and science projects, noisy music and quiet times by the fire, laughter and loneliness, and a million memories. More than likely, it is your story. The story of your life... or your life so far.

Written in seven parts, this book tells of the many stages a house goes through during the life of the family who lives there:
THE FIRST HOUSE, THE BABY’S HOUSE, THE NOISY HOUSE, THE THE QUIET HOUSE, THE LONELY HOUSE, THE GOODBYE HOUSE, and THE NEW HOUSE.

Whether you’re just moving in or you’ve lived there all your life, no other house will ever be the same.
