Build Your House Around My Body: A Novel Free Audiobook Download by Violet Kupersmith

A family drama, the story follows the lives of five women and their children. All five women are self-destructive in different ways: a drug addict, an eating disorder sufferer, a 'perfect' mother who is obsessed with her daughter's weight and appearance, a depressed woman on antidepressants, and a cancer survivor. The novel provides an excellent portrayal of how people cope with life-threatening conditions by shifting their focus to what matters most - their loved ones.

"Build Your House Around My Body was a book that I could not put down. It is about two people who are trying to find their way in the world and figure out how to live with their bodies. They each have an attraction that is different from one another, but they also share something else-they both care for each other."
