Under One Roof

Explore the enormous opportunities and benefits of multigenerational living in this essential guide to the modern American family.
This inventive guide to multigenerational living arrives at a crucial time, as families cope with the stresses of a changing society and the tidal wave of baby boomer retirement. This book about the American family of today offers solutions, guidance, and assistance from three authors who bring their different experiences and expertise to this presentation of the challenges, realities, and benefits of multigenerational living.
Under One Roof explores the current state of the American family, including fast-rising life expectancies, the growing costs of elder care, the increasing need for childcare, the frustrating lack of affordable housing, and the new familial disconnectedness. In response, this timely book also examines:
- designing communities and homes to accommodate a fast-graying America,
- the positives of elders providing childcare,
- handling relationships with aging parents,
- privacy, space, and communication issues within multigenerational living situations,
- the evolution of the American healthcare system, hiring home caregivers, increasing the ability to comfort in hospice, and
- dealing with the death of a loved one.
Under One Roof will bring you inspiration and exciting opportunities for invention as you and your modern American family tackle the challenges of the twenty-first century.

i liked this fmc & mmc a lot more than the ones in below zero. i'm really digging ali hazlewood's writing which is making me want to read all of her work after i finish these novellas.
Sometimes it felt like this novella was a draft because of how fast certain things happened. When everything changes 180°, I felt like I missed an entire chapter where the inciting incident that made them turn the corner happened.
Mara was quirky and Liam was just the opposite. It had very strong Love Hypothesis vibes. I enjoyed how they talked about the Bachelor and her blog. But at the same time, there were too many loose ends - did he get a new job and the twist...that came out of nowhere.
Why doesn’t Liam ever have sex!?!? He doesn’t like it?? That’s not a good enough explanation. Had he had sex before? I need more background on this! And how did Mara not ask more questions? She just shrugged it off and didn’t think twice about it. If a thirty-something year old man told me he doesn’t like sex, I would have a few questions for him.
