What can I say about Susan Kelo that hasn’t been said in this intriguing page turning (or CD changing) story? In 1997 Kelo left her husband and ventured off into a heroic storm. She just wanted a little place to call her own. She wanted to be left alone to start over, to make her own decisions. Little did she know that buying the little pink house in the depressed Ft. Trumbell neighborhood of Connecticut would be the biggest life changing event she would ever face alone.

The Little Pink House would take her all the way to the Supreme Court to save it. Soon after she purchases the house on the water and begins fixing it up, the New London Development Corporation begins its plot to take over the neighborhood she now calls home. But, she is not leaving. With her recent purchase under her belt, and armed with a handful of neighbors who are financially and physically unable to move, she storms through the halls of justice with her stouthearted stance. After all, she had searched hard, negotiated the price, and bought the house with her own savings. Moreover, it represented a newfound independence. Little did she know how she would have to draw on that independence.

In the midst of the injustice being served on the old neighborhood of New London, unlikely villains are exposed and the politics of big business networking is revealed for its "you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours" payoffs. Kelo meets both foe and friend during the years of battle and crafts happiness out of crisis.

I absolutely recommend this book to everyone and anyone who roots for the underdog and enjoys seeing the "good guy" win out over the corporate and political bullies. This "little" story is huge. It shows how the most insignificant of us have the ability to stand tall in the face of adversity. It is an inspiring book, with an ending that will make you want to stand up and cheer! Susan Kelo will be a beacon for readers who face dark trials with hung heads. She will shine a light for all to see.
