THE SALESWOMAN AND THE HOUSEHUSBAND is a semi-autobiographical novel. Lisa and Stuart lose their jobs in Boston and become desperate. Lisa feels forced to take a job with her brother's Pittsburgh company -- but it's selling engines to Amish farmers in the Old World. Her brother knows Lisa's art history degree won't help her there. Will the Amish even talk to her?
Stuart and their two kids follow Lisa down to live in a stone hut in the distant Pennsylvania woods.
Lisa gets shunned, but not just by Old World people. Her mother and brother show how the new world can shun much more drastically than the Amish.
A crisis erupts that forces Lisa and Stuart to choose between two worlds -- old and new.
