So when the house is burglarized, Rachel and her husband, Hal, agree its time to sell. But in a difficult housing market, and with Hal being an architect, they soon realize: Why leave when they can renovate? Rachel prepares herself for the disagreements and disasters that can accompany a major home renovation. But what she isnt prepared for is the emotional journey that will blow open the seal around everything she thinks she knows about herself, about family, and about the misunderstandings and resilience of love.

Once the dust settles, Rachel is astonished by the many gems revealed along the wayand comes to discover profound insights about the construction, demolition, and renovation of personal connections. Featuring beloved characters from Riding the Bus with My Sister and written with Simons signature breathtaking prose, Building a Home with My Husband is a wise and poignant reflection on loves endless possibilities and the extraordinary endurance of the human spirit.
