Countless TV shows, magazines, books, and websites that speak to some aspect of the concept of home. But women are looking for more than just storage solutions and trendy paint colors. They are looking for a place where they belong and where others can come for refuge from our hectic world. With warm, personal writing, Mary Beth Lagerborg helps modern women realize this dream. They can create a home that is both a haven and a starting point from which they can go out and face the world. Lagerborg has interviewed nearly seventy people who possess a healthy sense of home. She shows readers how they can make their dwellings safe and reengergizing places for themselves and those around them. Although Dwelling covers topics like decorating and dining, it doesn't stop there. Chapters on acceptance, making community, the changing dynamics of family, and even working from home make this book unique. Dwelling challenges readers to look beyond the superficial and into the true heart of home.
