Origins of The Book
In 1960, author O. T. Nelson started a small house-painting company which he called "College Craft Painters." By 1972, College Craft was operating in four states and employed many college students as summer house-painters, but the company was in need of money to expand as well as to cover its full-time employees during seasonal lulls in work. The Girl Who Owned a City was written for this purpose.

Where the hinges let it move, were living things,
