I absolutely love this book. Understanding the emotional quotient of the places we live is everything to do with feeling at home. * Michelle Ogundehin, author of Happy Inside * Katie McCrory will have you falling in love with your home all over again, without having to lift a paintbrush or a hammer (but you never know, she might also inspire you to do that too!). Where The Heart Is distills years of research into a beautiful and succinct book that will have you ditching the comparison and anxieties around your home and embracing it in all its imperfections. This isn’t just a book about houses, but one about how it feels to be human and the spaces that support the way we want to live our lives. * Penny Wincer, author of Home Matters * Katie puts words to the yearnings, dashed hopes and muddled fears which so many of have felt in our own journeys through the housing helter-skelter. There is both solidarity and action to be gleaned and you will come away from its pages feeling both validated and motivated. Our homes and hearts have always been entwined, a fundamental truth that Katie lays bare. * Katherine Ormerod, author of Your Not Forever Home *
