When Kate Whouley saw the classified ad for an abandoned cottage that had to be moved, she began to dream. Transport the cottage...attach it to my three-room house...create more space for my work and life....Smart, single, and self-employed, Whouley was used to fending for herself. But she wasn't prepared for half the complications of her house-moving adventures. Supported by loyal friends, and egged on by her bossy gray cat, Whouley encountered a parade of town officials, a small convoy of State Police (who escorted her cottage, with lights flashing, through four Cape Cod towns), and an army of house-moving, home-building men. Like the cottage on wheels, Kate Whouley takes the back roads, with a keen eye for the inner scenery. For everyone who has ever dreamed of creating a space of their own, there is a cottage for sale. You only have to move it.

The new edition celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the quirky and beloved memoir that has become a Cape Cod classic. Including a new chapter by the author that catches readers up on the cottage, Kate, and the current Cat-in-Charge.

"...a pitch-perfect description of both small-town life and personal anticipation...told in a voice of such good humor and thoughtful humanity... It is not simply about the marriage of a small house and smaller cottage, but about the hope we all find in home. I loved Cottage For Sale."

 -Anna Quindlen


"... a cast of characters that range from interesting to eccentric, a series of misadventures that might have come from a comic novel, and a narrative style that makes you keep turning the pages. It's one of those books in which the author has taken something personal and made it universal."

-Booklist 


"Whouley's gentle memoir...deftly explores the themes of independence, pride of place and loss..."

- The New York Times


"...an almost Holy Grail quest... highly entertaining."

-The Wall Street Journal 


"100% original and 100% enjoyable."
