This book on interior housekeeping illuminates the true measure of a life lived in terms of usefulness and integrity rather than accomplishment or possessions. With subtle wit, wonderfully evocative language, and cleareyed wisdom gleaned from her own experience, Toinette Lippe teaches us how to discern what is essential and let go of what is not.
