Imagine a house's early days as a home: A young family builds a picket fence and plants flowers in its yard; children climb the magnolia tree and play the piano in the living room; and there is music inside the house for many happy years. But what will happen when its windows grow dark; its paint starts to crumble; and its boards creak in the winter wind? The house dreams of a family who will love it again...and one day; a new story will emerge from within its walls. In this modern classic; Erin Napier’s lyrical prose and Adam Trest’s warm and comforting paintings deeply evoke the soul of a house cherishing the seasons of life and discovering the joy of rebirth.
