Book Cover & Preview Text
The structure of a Bamboo House should be studied. In its own way, it has much more stability than a Paper House. Still it is lightweight and very flexible. It may even become transitory. If need be, it can be abandoned in the jungle and rebuilt in another place. This is the house where youth evolves into maturity. Careers begin, grow and change shape. Love, marriage, and children happen. Responsibilities overtake us. We confirm friendships. People living in Bamboo Houses have to be able to assimilate new ideas. They may move, not just from one house to another but also to another country and culture. Because the Bamboo House rises above ground level, you must climb steps to get into it. The view up there changes and broadens daily. In that high, airy atmosphere people can expect to grow—often far beyond anyone’s expectations Nothing in the plant world is lovelier than a graceful stand of bamboo. Green and alive, however, it remains tough and very hard to root out. Our beautiful Bamboo Houses leave indelible marks on all of their residents.

About the Book
A Bamboo House is flexible, even transitory. For Dorothy it involved twenty- two house moves across six countries. All in just thirty-three years. People who live in these houses may be either in or out of the Ivory Tower. On or off the payroll. Careers begin, grow, and sometimes change shape. Residents move from naivete to wisdom, while patience curbs selfishness. A Bamboo House is where youth becomes maturity, and love and marriage can happen. Children are born and become teenagers. Meanwhile, dear friends enrich the days and enlarge our horizons.
