Samenvatting:

What does it meanto build a house?How can it change a life?What happens if the builder is a woman, a teacherand a writer, a woman unaccustomed to tools?How does such a woman come to build at all?What happens, then, if that first house, whoseevery nail is known, is sold? How does one leavesuch a house, leave and go on to build another?This is a building story, but more it is a story ofa woman builder and those without whom shecould not have built. It is about how buildingchanged not only that woman but also her senseof what a house is, how she came to know thatbuilding houses of wood builds the house ofthe spirit.
