Abandon House! - How to Survive...

Kenny Rudolph

The story that launched the Top-5 ranked Apple Podcast - now an audiobook!
It all started with a kitchen window leak. 1,500 days later, they fled their house-on-a-hill like it was haunted.
When a freak Southern California storm sends water pouring through Kenny and Shari Rudolph's kitchen window, they figure they're in for a simple weekend repair by licensed professionals. Instead, they're about to spend the next five years fighting a battle they never signed up for—against modern-day pirates, vanishing contractors, "licensed catastrophists," insurance adjusters acting as masters of sleight of hand, and a home repair industry worth half a trillion dollars that leaves the Rudolphs as castaways in their own home.
Told with the same wit and heart that built a loyal audience across 145 countries, Book 1 of the Abandon House trilogy is a true, page-turning, comically unbelievable account of what happens when a small problem refuses to stay small—and what it takes for two people to hold onto each other while their house, and their sanity, come apart at the seams.
Audiobook Production Notes:
Narrated by Kenny Rudolph, with his wife, Shari Rudolph, contributing all female voices, this audiobook brings this fiasco to life with humor, exasperation, and urgency, in madcap detail.
If you've ever been burned by a contractor, gaslit by an insurance company, or just love a good disaster you can laugh at from a distance, climb aboard. This is a humorous and hopeful journey through the deep despair of home repair gone wrong. It’s also a love story. Happy ending, likely!
#1 Must-Read-Book of September ~Los Angeles Reporter: Abandon House - more than just a chronicle of repairs gone wrong....A must-read for anyone who enjoys true stories told with humor…a delightful, deeply human read.
Rudolph has turned a personal fiasco into something that is both laugh-out-loud funny and reflective...readers will find themselves cheering for more. - New York Weekly

How to Be a Craftivist - The Art...

Sarah P. Corbett

What if changing the world didn't have to mean shouting the loudest?
'A warm-hearted approach to making change and bringing people with you' Patrick Grant, judge on BBC's The Great British Sewing Bee
In this updated 10th anniversary edition of How to Be a Craftivist, award-winning activist and founder of the global Craftivist Collective Sarah P. Corbett offers a powerful alternative to apathy, aggression and burnout: gentle protest.
Drawing on years of successful campaigns, Sarah shows how craft, creativity and thoughtful action can open conversations, influence decision-makers and create lasting change. Her approach has reached thousands of people around the world, as well as helped change hearts, minds, policies and laws, demonstrating that activism can be strategic and effective without sacrificing kindness, empathy or respect.
Part manifesto, part practical guide, How to Be a Craftivist is for anyone who wants to stand up against injustice whether they are new to activism or experienced campaigners. Ten years on, its call for a slower, more thoughtful and more humane way to make change feels more urgent than ever.
One stitch at a time, quiet action can make a powerful difference.
'This is mindful activism... thought-out, strategic and engaging' Observer
'Sarah's creative and original activism has been a huge inspiration' Orsola De Castro, co-founder of Fashion Revolution
