520    "'You're married, you're getting older, and your parents 
       are looking more and more like the grandparents they are 
       pestering you to make them. It's getting embarrassing. 
       Your pathetic renter's mailbox--the one with three former 
       tenants' names crossed out--is stuffed with your friends' 
       baby shower invitations. Just a few months ago, right 
       after my grandmother died, five different people mentioned
       the word Ultrasound to me on the same day. It was both 
       onomatopoetic and devastating.' In the cruel, cruel summer
       of a recent year, this was the condition in which Matt 
       Batt and his young wife, Jenae, found themselves. 
       Transient residents of higher-education-inspired locations
       like Columbus, OH, Madison, WI, Boston, MA, and eventually
       St. Paul, MN, they were, quite unexpectedly, living, 
       working and renting in Salt Lake City, UT. And when a 
       vicious series of deaths in their respective, immediate 
       families set their anxious sights on some semblance of 
       stability, they landed upon a flamboyantly dilapidated 
       house in the Sugarhouse section of Salt Lake. With a shaky
       young marriage and a full-blown 1/4 life crisis on their 
       hands, these perpetual grad-students/waiters/non-
       profiteers with no homesteading experience whatsoever, 
       decided they would turn this yellow former crack house 
       into a home. Dizzy with despair, doubt and the side 
       effects of using the rough equivalent of napalm to 
       detoxify their house, Matt and Jenae found themselves 
       fighting for their marriage, alternately dodging and 
       accepting the burdens and joys of becoming fully committed
       adults, while trying to figure out how the hell a rented 
       power sander works" --|cProvided by publisher. 
520    "The hard-earned story of a struggling and commitment-
       phobic young couple who, on the heels of a spectacularly 
       difficult year, decide to catapult themselves into 
       adulthood through the purchase of a dilapidated former 
       crack house, which they manage to turn into a home, 
       against all odds and with no experience"--|cProvided by
