Tracy Kidder takes readers to the heart of the American Dream: the building of a family's first house with all its day-to-day frustrations, crises, tensions, challenges, and triumphs. From the first nail to the final coat of paint, blueprints to moving day, Pulitzer Prize -- winning author Tracy Kidder leads readers through the grand adventure of building an American dream.
This book is a treasure. It's about work, really, the nature of work and what it means to people. It's also got some fun information about building houses, but it's mostly about people. Some recommend The Art Of War to everyone in Business but from now on I think I'm going to recommend House.
