Talking Houses - (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Great and wonderful lessons were learned by our family and everyone in the neighborhood as we were constantly on the move.

Our family remained close-knit and adjusted smoothly to many uncomfortable situations.

We remained stable and prosperous. Our climb to success and stability wasn't hampered by our circumstances.

Moving and living in rental properties is much different than moving into a home that is being purchased. There are difficulties in life but to sustain a family and goals under extreme pressure that comes with the change of moving, dismantling, and reestablishing a healthy environment for family living was made possible by the knowledge, skills, wisdom, and family coordination of Mrs. Grace Waters. She put everything in motion.

Each home/house we lived in told a story and reflected our attitudes and our abilities to adjust with positive results. Mrs. Waters had a philosophy. I'll restate it here: When someone gives you the back or anything that is secondary and unacceptable, take that thing or situation, change it, refurbish it, turn it around, and make it the front with beauty. Mrs. Waters had flawless ability and courage making changes and improvements.

We learned how to overcome and thrive with opposition and not be bitter. From our life lessons of lemons, we made lemonade.

The houses really could talk.
