520    The account of a years spent building a small post-and-
       beam cabin in the hills of western Maine tells a deeper 
       story about brotherly bonds, home and nature. It explores 
       the satisfaction of building and of physical labor. 
       Inspired by his From the Ground Up New York Times blog, 
       this is the author's memoir about building and 
       brotherhood. Confronted with the disappointments and 
       knockdowns that can come in middle age-job loss, the death
       of his mother, a health scare, a divorce, Lou needed a 
       project that would engage the better part of him and put 
       him back in life's good graces. City-bound for a decade, 
       he decided he needed to build a simple post-and-beam cabin
       in the woods. He bought five acres in the hills of western
       Maine and asked his younger brother, Paul, to help him. 
       Twenty years earlier the brothers had built a house 
       together. Now Lou saw working with Paul as a way to 
       reconnect with their shared history and to rediscover his 
       truest self. As the brothers, with the help of Paul's sons,
       undertake the challenging construction, nothing seems to 
       go according to plan. But as they raise the cabin, Lou 
       reveals his own evolving insights into the richness and 
       complexity of family relationships, the healing power of 
       nature, and the need to root oneself in a place one can 
       call home.
