The Saleswoman and the Househusband

The Saleswoman and The Househusband is a semi-autobiographical novel. Stuart and Lisa lose their jobs in Boston and become desperate. Lisa takes a job selling engines to Amish farmers. Her art history degree won't help her there. And, it's no help that Amish men won't talk to her. Stuart and their two kids follow Lisa down to live in a stone hut at the epicenter of nowhere. What if Lisa quits her job in this misogynist minefield? Could they sell the old hut? How will they find new jobs now that their resumes are even more decrepit? Lisa and Stuart are suddenly forced to confront all these questions at once.
