Pulitzer prize-winning writer, Annie Proulx, sets out to build her perfect home in a remote corner of Wyoming.

Proulx's first work of non-fiction in twenty years tells a personal story of designing and constructing a house in harmony with her interests, work and personality.
Embarking on building her Bird Cloud house, Annie Proulx is clear on what she does not want but is less sure about what she wants. Working with an architect, the designs are full of promise but finding a builder proves almost impossible.
