Description: "Our Home, Our Passion is a tale of two post-World War II newlyweds who build a unique home for themselves in a pristine area of the Berkeley Hills of Northern California. Along with their iconoclastic architect [Robert Weaver Stevens], they pioneered a home of great beauty and style on a shoestring budget. After a tragic firestorm swept through those hills forty-five years later, they built their home again. Their story is filled with determination, creativity, serendipity, and love." --
