THE SALESWOMAN AND THE HOUSEHUSBAND is a semi-autobiographical novel. Lisa and Stuart lose their jobs in Boston and become desperate. Lisa takes a job selling engines to Amish farmers in Pennsylvania. Her art history degree won't help her there. It's no help that Amish men won't even talk to her.
Stuart and their two kids follow Lisa down to live in a stone hut in the thick, hick, heart of darkness. What if Lisa can't handle her misogynist minefield of a job? How would they sell the hut? What would they do for jobs, now that their resumes are even more useless?
A crisis erupts that forces them to confront these issues, all at once.
