“In 2008, Caitlin Shetterly and her husband, Dan, set off for LA from their home in Maine, full of anticipation, jobs in hand, eager for a new chapter in their lives. Then the economy hit bottom, the jobs dried up, their options and money dwindled and Caitlin discovered she was pregnant. Desperate and disillusioned, they finally drove home—with no money, a two month-old baby and a dog—to move in with Caitlin’s mother. Depressing though their plight was, this is a book full of love and hope. The family’s search for the “American Dream” turns into a discovery of the strength of family bonds, community and living in a place that brings comfort. Caitlin’s blog throughout this time was the seed for this timely, thought-provoking and touching read.” —Barb, Paulina Springs Books, with locations in Redmond and Sisters, OR
