About this listen

In her successful career as a travel writer, Southerden found herself staying in ever new and exotic locations, but while staying in a cabin in Norway, she had an epiphany about what she truly wanted for her life, ready to put down roots.

With no prior building experience, Southerden decided to build a tiny house with her partner, Max, which tested an already unstable relationship. Over the year and a half of planning and construction of her tiny house, Southerden witnessed her new home coming together as her relationship was falling apart. Alongside her burgeoning construction skills, Southerden learned about love, home, forgiveness and what we really need to be happy.

This is an intensely personal story about searching for home and true love, two of life's most fundamental needs, risking everything, failing and finding ways to cope, and discovering that what we need isn't always what we thought we wanted.

Critic reviews

'This book is not only about soul searching; Tiny also gives fascinating practical insights into the building process and the quirky complications of tiny builds. For fans of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray Love and Sarah Wilson’s First, We Make the Beast Beautiful, or anyone curious about building a tiny house (and a relationship), Tiny is sure to make a significant impression on your heart and mind.' (Books+Publishing)
'Masterful and beautifully written, Tiny is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever been made to feel weak, crazy or small. This book is a triumph.' (Erin Vincent, author of Grief Girl)
'... an inspiring book.' (on Surf's Up: The Girl's Guide to Surfing) (Australian Book Review)

Wanted to like this as it's on topic for me but a very fragile author who complained and seemed to have a Breakdown every chapter ruins story. Had to Stop
