Описание: "A remarkable page-turner of a novel." --Chicago Tribune
In 1923, fifteen-year-old Hattie Shepherd, swept up by the tides of the Great Migration, flees Georgia and heads north. Full of hope, she settles in Philadelphia to build a better life. Instead she marries a man who will bring her nothing but disappointment, and watches helplessly as her firstborn twins are lost to an illness that a few pennies could have prevented. Hattie gives birth to nine more children, whom she raises with grit, mettle, and not an ounce of the tenderness they crave. She vows to prepare them to meet a world that will not be kind. Their lives, captured here in twelve luminous threads, tell the story of a mother's monumental courage--and a nation's tumultuous journey.

Moving home takes on a different meaning when your home uses shipping container modules and can literally be closed up, picked up and moved with your belongings to anywhere in the world.
In this book, the author shows how his home -- constructed using specialised, certified, shipping containers -- was made in such a way that it remains shippable as a standard container anywhere worldwide. It is fitted out as a comfortable and practical, self-contained home, and is designed so that it can be extended in stages to a three bedroom dwelling while still remaining shippable. It includes:
Various designs and techniques used to create the author's home
Stages from a single person dwelling to a three bedroom home
Details of construction methods and materials
Concepts for an affordable home and a spacious administration centre or office
All designs retain the integrity of the shipping containers, allowing them to be transported anywhere in the world.
"A 20ft shipping container can be a challenging space to work with when constructing a home. Thankfully, with years of experience building super-yachts and racing boats, shipwright Evans is no stranger to working in small spaces and when it came to building his own home he has done a truly spectacular job of, quite literally, thinking inside the box."
-- Bryce Langston, creator and host of the popular YouTube series, Living Big in a Tiny House.
