For the Love of a House: Restored with the Love of a Child (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781453668115)

From the author of SEVEN SACRED RAINBOW COLORS comes the mesmerizing story spanning years and culminating in an exciting cross-country trip to restore a century's old family dwelling. This labor of love was often hilarious and sometimes gut wrenching. The life-long adventure brought with it both contentment and blessings beyond the author's wildest dreams. Linda (Lin) Dickson Nichols tells you this page turning story so history buffs and family members will have answers about the old house on the hill above Beaver Dam Creek in the Rose Hill Township in Southeastern North Carolina. And they'll know something about the little girl who fell in love with a house and loved it with a passion that not only shaped her adult life but changed the lives of others. Her love still permeates the house and the surrounding property with tangible and visible force. Linda, Lin to her friends, barely remembers living anywhere other than in that house of over two-hundred-years that has National Registry Status as an Historic Site. She says that all the adventures she and her late husband had, the work they did, and the pains they endured are but a whisper in her memory, but that they're vividly alive in this book. Everything that happened was because of her love for this house.
