book: "A Home of Her Own"
"Nancy Hiller is a premier cabinetmaker with a fondness for wood and old houses, and with a storyteller's feel for character. Here she offers us a gallery of women who have created distinctive homes, often in buildings that others had abandoned, sometimes after having been abandoned themselves, always with resourcefulness and imagination. As these women restore the outward fabric of houses and gardens and furnishings, they also restore the fabric of their lives. Hiller honors their skill and pluck, and Kendall Reeves, through his photographs, enables us to glimpse the beauty of their creations. After reading this book, you will see your own home place with fresh eyes."
—Scott Russell Sanders, author of A Conservationist Manifesto

"The Hoosier Cabinet in Kitchen History"
(2009) IU Press
“I found your "Hoosier Cabinet in Kitchen History" to be utterly entrancing. It is satisfying social history, a fine chronicle of an idea and a product, and an engrossing examination of uniquely American thinking about marketing. It is also a delight to look at, reflecting not only good design but impressive picture research. All that, and it reads wonderfully, right down to a luscious final paragraph.”
