In her critically acclaimed, ingenious memoir, Sarah Messer explores America’s fascination with history, family, and Great Houses. Her Massachusetts childhood home had sheltered the Hatch family for 325 years when her parents bought it in 1965. The will of the house’s original owner, Walter Hatch—which stipulated Red House was to be passed down, "never to be sold or mortgaged from my children and grandchildren forever"—still hung in the living room. In Red House, Messer explores the strange and enriching consequences of growing up with another family’s birthright. Answering the riddle of when shelter becomes first a home and then an identity, Messer has created a classic exploration of heritage, community, and the role architecture plays in our national identity.

I spent my early childhood on our ranch in Trout Lake, Washington amid the beautiful forests and hay fields of the Lazy C Over Springs Ranch. My Father, Ellis Claridge, taught me to rope and ride to be responsible for the care and wellbeing of my horse and dog. I actually loved doing chores and driving the tractor. My life on the XZ Ranch in Trout Creek, Montana began with my marriage to Jim Matthews, a member of the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association), a cowboy who loved riding broncs. Together we worked toward the accomplishment of buying and building our ranch. We lived a hard-working, hard-playing, joyous life until the accidental death of Jim turned my life upside down. When I met and married Dick Johnson, we moved to the Wild Horse Ranch in Eastern Oregon where we raised Simmental Cattle and were privileged to enjoy the many children that God brought to visit us, sometimes for a few days, a few weeks, or a few months. All were welcome for however long they were allowed to stay. All of this time, I was blessed to have many horses, dogs, and various other creatures who enriched our lives with fun and laughter.
