The Big Tiny: A Built-It-Myself Memoir/Dee Williams - 3 stars

[JoLene]

My husband and I enjoy watching some of the "tiny house" shows --- although now it seems like they are everywhere. We often joke that we want to see them after they've been living in them a year later, not 2-3 weeks later. This is a memoir about a woman who actually built her own tiny house and has been living in it.

Dee Williams was faced with a health crisis and decided that she needed to down-size her life. She read an article about a man who was building tiny houses and actually contacts him. He inspires her to build her own. She ends up living on the property of some friends and much of the book is about the community that helped support her and the support that she gave to others. If you are curious about how people really live in the tiny houses, this was an amusing memoir, which also raised some interesting questions that people should think about.
