A heartfelt coming-of-age memoir about taking the unbeaten path, owning a home, and holding it all—including yourself—together.
Detouring from the traditional timeline of marriage–kids–house, twenty-six-year-old Vikki Warner skips straight to homeownership. She buys a run-down three-story house in Providence, Rhode Island, and suddenly finds herself responsible for a rotating cast of colorful tenants. Adulthood comes with unforeseen challenges: backed-up sewage, gentrification, global economic downturn. Tenemental is a candid portrait of how sharing space profoundly reshapes our lives, and forces us to grow into ourselves.
Vikki Warner is an acquisitions editor with Blackstone Publishing and a freelance writer. Her work has appeared in Bust, the Boston Globe, and Zagat, among others.
