In 1981 Rosemary Haughton and six companions bought Wellspring House in Gloucester, Massachusetts (one of the oldest houses in America, having been built in 1649) and established it as a refuge and place of healing for homeless families, almost all of them single mothers. This is the story of that adventure as well as being a theology of the radical dispossession of women in our society.
