How to think creatively, not expensively, when it comes to making changes at home. Going beyond the usual suspects can help you to create a home that's distinctively yours. This is a wonderful book full of inspiring images. I love the variance of light and airy spaces with the darker moody ones. It really gives the reader an opportunity to study the design principles being used in many different situations.

The book is kinda tough to read in terms of mental health. The narrator attempt suicide, has several nervous breakdowns, and has an overall negative life view. It’s pretty hard to enter into the sadness and sit with it in the way that the author asks the audience to do in the novel. It is also heartbreaking to read about a girl so young struggling with so much. Lisa Allen-Agostini does a great job getting inside Kayla’s head and showing the difficulty of mental illness in a young teen with few coping skills. I could understand why young Kayla felt so unloved by her mother and out of place on an island of people who didn’t have open, nonjudgmental dialogue about mental illness. I wish Allen-Agostini had shown positive aspects of the country and people to give readers a more balanced view of Trinidad.

This Is Homeis about simple living – how to focus on our values to create authentic homes full of meaning and joy. Featuring eight case studies from Australia, the US and Europe, and nearly 200 color photographs, This is Home will inspire you with beautiful, authentic places you want to be – today. At the centre of it all is Kayla. I loved that she was allowed to be ordinary. Even as others limited prejudices around mental illness impacted her, she too had her own misconceptions to unlearn about others. I loved that Allen-Agostini took her to a place where, faced with the possibility of returning to a more unsupportive environment in Trinidad, it would be harder for her but she would still be okay. Please be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery - the approximate delivery time is usually between 1-2 business days. The most compelling part of Home Home is the candid and simplistic examination of depression. Allen-Agostini uses simple devices to explore the seriousness of a mental health issue as it affects youth. Teenage outcasts are not new to young adult literature. In this treatment, concerns that may otherwise seem trite are given the amount of consideration they would in an average teenager’s life. The gravitas of an outfit choice or an argument makes even more sense when the stakes are laid out clearly for the reader.The Art of ingenuity: Think creatively, not expensively, when it comes to making changes at home. Going beyond the usual suspects can help you to create a home that's distinctively yours. The sexuality of the couple is of no relevance to Kayla; they are stable and very supportive. Without reason, she is guilt-riddled about burdening the childless ladies especially because they were not obligated to accept such a huge responsibility. Kayla's mother had always been ignorant and in denial about her condition hence sending her away. As a result, their mother-daughter relationship continued to be strained and dispassionate.
