There

Planned

By Sarah Trott

Planned is an evocative look at how the American Dream, a three-bedroom house with a two-car garage on a quiet cul-de-sac, became a national obsession with a nightmarish hangover. And nowhere was that more true than Northern California. Read a selection from Sarah Trott's Planned.

With Planned, Sarah Trott has given voice to the way we shape our built environment, the choices we make, the compromises we must live with. It is a work both quiet and fierce, taking the reader into its confidence, and then confounding expectations.
