American Home
by Stephanie Alison Walker

One out of every 54 homes in America received a foreclosure notice in 2008.

Stephanie Alison Walker takes us on a deeply personal journey through recent history as she shines a light on three out of the millions of stories of loss.

A young couple faces eviction from the dream house they stretched to buy, an elderly widow falls prey to a reverse mortgage scheme, and a minister of the prosperity gospel must face the flock she's led astray.

AMERICAN HOME takes an unflinching look at the impossible choices people make when faced with losing everything, and, ultimately, celebrates the powerful resilience of community and the human spirit.

"There is an authenticity to these stories that make the experience a visceral one … It's an altogether moving piece that strikes at the heart of who we are as Americans and more importantly who we are when it all falls apart."
