A falling-down house no more

Akron columnist's book weaves together home, family and six hearths

WKSU's M.L. Schultze reports
A decade ago, David Giffels introduced Akron Beacon Journal readers to his house: a nearly condemned combination of past glory and present decay. Now he's introducing a national audience to his home and his family in a book that's drawn the attention of the New York Times. "All the Way Home: Building a Family in a Falling-Down House," by David Giffels
