Cottage for Sale: Must Be Moved: A Woman Moves a House to Make a Home - Paperback

Before #housebeforespouse, before Tiny Houses were a thing, even before DIY'ers got hooked on HGTV, Kate Whouley bought a fixerupper three-room cottage on Cape Cod. Not yet thirty, and running a small business from home, she began dreaming of an office of her own. But years would pass before a headline in the weekly Pennysaver sparked plans for an unconventional (and maybe even affordable) addition, and Kate's year-long domestic adventure would spark a book. In Cottage For Sale, Must Be Moved, Kate and her bossy feline sidekick, Egypt, encounter cranky town officials, a scruffy building-mover of few words, a construction crew of fulltime firefighters, an electrician who is at heart, a surfer-dude, and a swoon-worthy mason who illuminates the history of concrete. Captivating readers for almost two decades, the memoir Anna Quindlen called "a pitch-perfect description of both small-town life and personal anticipation" now includes a bonus chapter by the author that catches readers up on the cottage, Kate, and the current (just as bossy) Cat-in-Charge.
