Title: What the House Saw Inspirations: Inspired by a conversation with my older brother, just a short time after my mother's death. Inspirations: Inspired by the time in my life just prior to my parents' divorce when I was six -- when we lived for one year in a very rustic farmhouse on the South Dakota prairie.

Musical Inspirations: Most frequently on the turntable while the novel was written -- Anne Murray's Greatest Hits. The song, "Could I Have This Dance?" is referenced in the book.

with a very autobiographical revelation of family dysfunction, and you've got "What the House Saw".
