520 2  "Ladette Randolph understands her life best through the 
       houses she has inhabited. From the isolated farmhouse of 
       her childhood, to the series of houses her family occupied
       in small towns across Nebraska as her father pursued his 
       dream of becoming a minister, to the equally small houses 
       she lived in as a single mother and graduate student, 
       houses have shaped her understanding of her place in the 
       world and served as touchstones for a life marked by both 
       constancy and endless cycles of change. On September 12, 
       2001, Randolph and her husband bought a dilapidated 
       farmhouse on twenty acres outside Lincoln, Nebraska, and 
       set about gutting and rebuilding the house themselves. 
       They had nine months to complete the work. The project, 
       undertaken at a time of national unrest and uncertainty, 
       led Randolph to reflect on the houses of her past and the 
       stages of her life that played out in each, both painful 
       and joyful. As the couple struggles to bring the 
       dilapidated house back to life, Randolph simultaneously 
       traces the contours of a life deeply shaped by the 
       Nebraska plains, where her family has lived for 
       generations, and how those roots helped her find the 
       strength to overcome devastating losses as a young adult. 
       Weaving together strands of departures and arrivals, new 
       houses and deep roots, cycles of change and the cycles of 
       the seasons, Leaving the Pink House is a richly layered 
       and compelling memoir of the meaning of home and family, 
       and how they can never really leave us, even if we leave 
       them"--|cProvided by publisher.
