Short Synopsis
This new edition of Cottage for Sale, Must Be Moved celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the quirky and beloved memoir that has become a Cape Cod classic.

Full Synopsis
When Kate Whouley saw the classified ad for an abandoned cottage that had to be moved, she began to dream. Transport the cottage . . . attach it to my three-room house . . . create more space for my work and life . . . Smart, single, and self-employed, Whouley was used to fending for herself. But she wasn't prepared for half the complications of her house-moving adventures. Supported by loyal friends, and egged on by her bossy gray cat, Whouley encountered a parade of town officials, a small convoy of State Police (who escorted her cottage, with lights flashing, through four Cape Cod towns), and an army of house-moving, home-building men. Like the cottage on wheels, Kate Whouley takes the back roads, with a keen eye for the inner scenery. For everyone who has ever dreamed of creating a space of their own, there is a cottage for sale. You only have to move it.

The new edition celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the quirky and beloved memoir that has become a Cape Cod classic. Including a new chapter by the author that catches listeners up on the cottage, Kate, and the current Cat-in-Charge.
