 Red House Red House. Messer, Sarah. Penguin Books. Paperback. Red House. Sarah Messer´s Massachusetts´s childhood home had sheltered the Hatch family for 325 years when her parents bought it in 1965.

Weaving the stories of the Hatch and Messer families, Red House explores the strange and enriching experience of growing up with another family´s birthright.
