A place to call home...few ideas conjure up such a heartfelt sense of contentment, security, and simple happiness. As bestselling author Lois Wyse reminds us, each time we move, we set about finding a home for our hearts -- and therein lies the true art of nesting. And so we turn to this delightful celebration of adorable honeymoon cottages, rotten first apartments, houses to remember (and forget), mortgaged mansions -- and that warm place in the heart we call home. With her trademark humor and insight, Lois Wyse has written a moving collection of stories, anecdotes, and poems that reminds us of the life lessons we learn as we repaint, refurnish, and redecorate in search of a place to settle down. Here are all the paths to our dream houses...and to the lives and loves we make there. It's been said that no woman ever met a man or a house she couldn't make over, but this wise little book shows us that what we are really making over is ourselves. With short and sweet stories exploring both the emotional importance of home and the practical dramas of houses -- their quaint charms and their mysterious plumbing -- Nesting helps each of us remember that, after all, there's no place like home.
