All the Way Home
When David Giffels went house-hunting with his wife and infant son, he was looking for more than just a place to live. Suspended in perpetual youth, he wanted a fixer-upper he could transform—and in the process, transform himself. That seemed to be just what he and his family found when they settled on a Gilded Age mansion with no electricity or plumbing, a leaky roof, and unwelcome invaders from vines to vermin to squatters to (maybe) a ghost. It was a dump. And it was perfect. Or so he thought... A contributor to both NPR and Beavis and Butt-Head, Giffels recounts his quixotic quest to (re)build his dream home—and the harsh lessons he learned about himself in the process—in this witty, powerful memoir of moving in and growing up.
