Commune of Women is a novel about six women, trapped together in a small room, who must use their slender resources to survive and prevail by sharing everything: their hope and fear; their food; and their life stories, which grow deeper, darker and more intimate as the days pass.

Under the Roof of Your Dream
The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.
--Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams
David received a load of used bricks for Christmas, from our son Eric. In a matter of days, he had laid out a new path, using 100-year old redwood from an old water tank for edging and a beautifully crowned bed of sand to receive the bricks. Once he locks onto a project, David sticks to it with pitbull intensity. He started laying brick in the morning and by afternoon . . . well, see for yourself. He's definitely a guy who lives right under the roof of his dreams! I hope this day finds each of you doing the same!
