You can't outrun a memory, but Elliott Norton is going to try. The longer she prolongs her road trip, the longer she can avoid her grief. It's been three years since her husband and son died, but everywhere she looks, she sees them. Finally, she packs up and embarks on a summer-long trip to find a place to grow new roots. In every town she visits, Elliott finds a reason to keep moving. Distracted by her nine-year-old daughter, she careens off the road and into a tree. Thankfully, they are unharmed but now they're stranded in the small coastal town of Darien, Georgia. They explore the town while waiting for repairs and even make friends with some locals. After finding a house that needs major repairs, she decides renovating the old Plantation home is the perfect distraction from her pain. With the help of new friends--especially the hunky neighbor, Nick--Elliott dives into the remodeling. Nick is a single parent and understands Elliott's struggles. Their bond grows with every room they remodel. She slowly finds herself open to the idea of love after loss, but it all comes to a screeching halt when she learns Nick is keeping a major secret. If Elliott can't stop running from the hurting in her heart, she may never again experience real love.

A porch can change the way you live in your house--it can entirely change the way your house looks--it can change the way you relate to your neighborhood. There is, simply, something magical about a porch. It slows you down, it tells you to take some time, to read the paper, to sip a glass of iced tea, to watch the weather roll in. For those dreaming of a front porch or those with porches in need of redesign, On the Porch will be their bible, the only book to cover the topic from porch types to planning and design, to tips on good construction, to maintenance and porch adornment (lighting, overhead fans, rockers, hanging plants, trellising). An important component of the book will be showing, using before and after photos, how adding a porch can entirely change the look of your home. Architects James Crisp and Sandra Mahoney offer a complete design guide to porches, from considering the porch's function to choosing wood alternatives, lighting and finishing design touches.

Lessons from the Porchis Ed Poole's thoughtful memoir of life's lessons, which he shares with endearing charm and good-natured heart. The book is a thoughtful journey and an engaging reminiscence.Lessons from the Porchwill allow the reader to consider questions such as: Have you wondered how you arrived at your current stop along your journey? Have you ever asked the question, "What am I supposed to be learning from this experience?" How can I leave this world a bit better than it was when I found it? Although written about his own experience battling depression, the book is meant for anyone embarking on a journey to know themselves and cultivate new friendships. We all have places from which we learn life's lessons. For some it may be sitting beside a meandering stream. For this author, the place to which he returned to understand his journey was the porch that surrounded his house as he grew up. Metaphorically, Poole's porch represents how he either has or has not accepted changes in his life. The dilemma about how and when to leave his porch goes back to his early boyhood when his mom would always say, "Eddie, don't get too close to the edge of the porch, because you might fall off."

"There is something spooky and resonant about liminal places like docks, shorelines, decks, and perhaps most commonly porches. Here, Charlie Hailey meditates on porches in a way that is appropriately thoughtful, affecting, rich, and resonant. Porches, in his hands, become portals onto an endless array of large metaphysical questions: what is it to be in a place? How does one place teach us about the world and about ourselves, both as individuals and as a species? What are we-and the things we have built-in this world? In a time when questions of what makes society society and what sustains the individual are so paramount, Hailey's meditations are both a tonic and a series of welcome provocations"--

Founded 250 years ago, the town of Rumney is a classic New England town with a lovely town common surrounded by a library a church and beautiful white clapboard homes. "A Spot on the Porch" by artist and author Wayne D. King is a 26 page celebration of his home town. The images are a rich combination of traditional color and black and white images and mixed media images that reflect King's unique style combining traditional photography and watercolor painting or other media that enhance the emotional impact of the art. King's images are, quite simply, a celebration of life, blending the real and the surreal to achieve a sense of place or time that reaches beyond the moment into what he calls "a dreamlike quintessentialism" designed to spark an emotional response. Using digital enhancement, handcrafting, painting, and sometimes even straight photography, King takes the viewer to a place that is beyond simple truth to where truth meets passion, hope and dreams.

Come with us for a moment out onto the porch. Just like that, we’ve entered another world without leaving home. In this liminal space, an endless array of absorbing philosophical questions arises: What does it mean to be in a place? How does one place teach us about the world and ourselves? What do we—and the things we’ve built—mean in this world? In a time when reflections on the nature of society and individual endurance are so paramount, Charlie Hailey’s latest book is both a mental tonic and a welcome provocation. Solidly grounded in ideas, ecology, and architecture, The Porch takes us on a journey along the edges of nature where the outside comes in, hosts meet guests, and imagination runs wild. Hailey writes from a modest porch on the Homosassa River in Florida. He sleeps there, studies the tides, listens for osprey and manatee, welcomes shipwrecked visitors, watches shadows on its screens, reckons with climate change, and reflects on his own acclimation to his environment. The profound connections he unearths anchor an armchair exploration of past porches and those of the future, moving from ancient Greece to contemporary Sweden, from the White House roof to the Anthropocene home. In his ruminations, he links up with other porch dwellers including environmentalist Rachel Carson, poet Wendell Berry, writers Eudora Welty and Zora Neale Hurston, philosopher John Dewey, architect Louis Kahn, and photographer Paul Strand. As close as architecture can bring us to nature, the porch is where we can learn to contemplate anew our evolving place in a changing world—a space we need now more than ever. Timeless and timely, Hailey’s book is a dreamy yet deeply passionate meditation on the joy and gravity of sitting on the porch.

Description: For six generations, The Porch has served as a place for children to play and pretend about their futures. Their lives fit together like pieces of a puzzle, interlocking and completing each other. The stately old house and porch were built in 1895 by Archie and his bride Jewell. Throughout the next century, Sara pretended to nurse her Spanish-American war soldiers. Matt flew his Tinker Toy plane to Antarctica, imagining himself to be Admiral Byrd. Jake lost himself in reading and studying to escape the confines of his wheelchair. Using Jake's ramp, Mike surfed around the world on his skateboard, searching for the perfect wave. Barry plotted the football formations that would change his life forever, and Natalie consoled her young doll-patients through their cancer treatments. These ten-year-old children enjoyed The Porch, the memorabilia in the Treasure Chests that were stored under the porch, and the Fourth of July reunion celebrations. In one of the Treasure Chests is a Japanese Puzzle Box that holds a mystery. A scavenger hunt leads the young and old alike, through the chronological order of the family history memorabilia. The Puzzle Box is opened, and the ending will surprise you as much as the family!
