Sometimes less is more. All day long, Sadie builds houses for other people, but she can't seem to find one that she and her daughters can call home. When the housing crisis in their area doesn't seem to be letting up, Sadie gets creative with her friends and builds a tiny house for her family. From the outside it looks like they are living with less, but can Sadie and her daughters find the value in living small? Adult. Unrated. 2019.

| Local Notes |
"Sadie works as a framer, building houses. She lost her own home in a recent divorce and now lives with her two daughters in a rented bungalow. When her landlady says she needs to move out, Sadie finds there's a housing crisis in her community. She can't find a place to live and is forced to move her family into a travel trailer at a local campsite. When her ex-husband finds out, he insists that the girls come live with him in another city. Desperate to keep her daughters with her in their home community, Sadie is forced to rethink her dream of living in a full-sized house. In the short term, she moves her girls into a co-worker's apartment. Then, with the help of her friends and daughters, she builds a tiny house. In the process she finds living with less has its rewards and that living in a small space brings her family closer together." -- Worldcat.
