MINDY LEWIS and local contributors will present Dirt: The Quirks, Habits, and Passions of Keeping House. This is a collection to which everyone can relate: a multidimensional look at the universal challenge of keeping our stuff, our dwellings, and our personal space clean and uncluttered. How we feel about keeping house speaks volumes about who we are, our roots, relationships, and our outlook on life.
