Wed gone about it the wrong way: invested three hours to clean up a tiny bathroom, and all we had to show for it was six nicely rearranged rugs, six big bags of trash, three or four bruised egos, and an angry mother.

I embraced my little sisters again, and suddenly the weight of it all hit us as if wed been bombarded by steel beams from heaven. The three of us began weeping like there was no tomorrow. And with our heads bent low like three downtrodden sunflowers, we felt every bit as horrible as the house had looked. How on earth had it ever become so bad?

Will Kelly be able to sort through the mess to find love, laughter, and encouragement for her and her family? Uncover her story as she restores order, ridding chaos and Collecting Dreams.

Collecting Dreams is a wonderful book. As the son of a hoarder myself I totally understand the confusion, the total bewilderment and even the disorientation that is part and parcel of being a hoarders offspring Collecting Dreams is a lovely book and I highly recommend it.
