About this item
by Catherine B. Harper (Author)
For anyone who has wondered, "if these walls could talk," the revelations are disclosed here in I Am The House, a unique tale told by an 1870s house and co-narrated by a Human House Empath. Beginning in the 1570s with the original Native American settlers of Long Island's North Fork, the story progresses through the American Revolution, through local milestones such as the building of the Railroad and national milestones such as the Great Depression, to the personal milestones marking the major characters' lives and their homes, and continues to a shocking development in the 1970s. Over a 400 years span, a series of powerfully drawn characters engage readers in exploring themes basic to our human condition such as: prevailing over adversity, navigating family dynamics, facing the challenges of preservation, finding the little joys in daily life, and intriguing insights about the relationship we have with our homes and their own housetories.
