Linda, like many of us, was all too set in her ways. She thrived on the familiar -- people, surroundings, daily routine and life in general. Possessions were like children to be bragged about and shown off. She imagined her existence would somehow always be within the boundaries of this insulated and comfortable world. Then life suddenly and irrevocably changed. The collapse of her small business, the housing crash and a chance meeting with a stranger would transport Linda, her husband and their small dog to a place where nothing would ever be the same.

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!" -- Dorothy, from "The Wizard of Oz"
