California House

At a turning point in her life in 1981, Carol Glen, a traveller in New Zealand, spies a dilapidated Victorian villa with a ‘For Sale’ sign at the front gate. One look at the sadly neglected twelve-room house, and a dream is born, a dream of establishing New Zealand’s first California style bed and breakfast inn.

This book tells the story of the challenges she faces in fulfilling her dream. Glen provides a moving account of love and loss, and the search for ‘home’ in a remote unspoiled country.
