This was a pleasant book to read, filled with interesting history of a family's legacy with building and occupying a home still in existance since about 1647 in Marshfield, Mass., coupled with stories of the author and her family that purchased the home in 1965. It makes you think of home restoration and preservation, respecting the "footprints" that prior residents brought while they lived in the Red House.
If you enjoy early Ameicana history, this is a book you will want to spend a few days with in the comfort of your own favorite place.
