Returning to Noisy Village: The Restoration of My Swedish Home and My American Heart - Paperback

by Martha Swanson (Author)

I don't know how a person returns to something they never were before, but it happened to me.

Returning to Noisy Village: The Restoration of My Swedish Home and My American Heart is a celebration of friendship, family, blended cultures, and self-discovery set in the natural beauty of the Swedish countryside. Meet the people of Solbacka - some old, some young, some dead- and learn their heartbreak, perseverance, and generosity stories. Blending vulnerability with contagious joy, this memoir explores how the restoration of a century-old home paralleled one woman's deep dive into regaining the identity she lost in the messiness of everyday life. Conversational, reflective, expressive, and bursting with gratitude, Returning to Noisy Village explores what it means to find your heart's true home and fall in love with those you meet along the way.
