Both her parents threw open their rambling house in Portland, Oregon, to long-term visitors and unusual guests in need of a place to stay.

There, she joined her brother and his housemates--an eccentric group of stop-motion animators and accomplished cooks--in furthering the experiment of communal living into a new generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGroup Living and Other Recipes \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of the residents of the Holman House--of transcendent meals and ecstatic parties, of colorful characters coming together in moments of deep tenderness and inevitable irritation, of a shared life that is appealing, humorous, confounding, and, just maybe, utopian--with a wider exploration of group living as a way of life.
