The kindness and love that came our way, well, I can't tell you how much it meant to our family. When we felt defeated, you gave us hope for America.

Made For You And Me: Going West, Going Broke, Finding Home by Caitlin Shetterly

Hello!

My name is Caitlin Shetterly and I have a new memoir coming out on March 8th from Voice entitled Made for You and Me: Going West, Going Broke, Finding Home. It’s a story about so many things like marriage, parenthood, dreams, food and going west with all the bravado of the Pioneers. But, at its heart, it’s a book and the debilitating effect the Great Recession had on my young, middle class family. 

 

Parts of the story have been featured on NPR…
