"In her midtwenties, Vikki Warner took a detour from the traditional path of marriage-kids-mortgage and purchased a crumbling three-story house in Providence, Rhode Island. Now adulthood means navigating a rotating cast of colorful tenants, exploding plumbing, and surprise renovations. Told with grit and good humor, this debut memoir is a candid exploration of how sharing space profoundly reshapes our lives and forces us to grow into ourselves." -- Back cover.
