Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
In this collection of essays and excerpts, writers such as Louise Erdrich, Colette, Sherman Alexie, and Jim Wayne Miller depict their versions and visions of what it is they call "home." More than describing just a building or a box, these definitions explore the more psychological effects of home: the pleasures and pains one goes through in trying to locate and maintain whatever "home" is, spiritual or structural.
