Gutted

“Maide Korte writes with frankness, humor, and a keen, observant eye. With Gutted she gives us both an intimate personal story and an absorbing exploration of the way our place makes us just as much as we make our place. A thoughtful, delightful book.”—Jane Brox, author of Silence and In the Merrimack Valley
“Korte delightfully lays bare the story of her move from Chicago to an old Victorian in the country—as well as the courage it took to let a new space open up the tight, tense corners of her life, marriage, and ultimately, her soul. Gutted is a wise, big-spirited pleasure of a book!”—Pamela Petro, author of The Long Field
“A lighthearted and humorous read offering profound insights that renovate not only a home but also a life. Korte’s self-reflective honesty is refreshing and transformative.”—Ingrid Faro, PhD, MDiv, author of Demystifying Evil

Maida Korte loves to write about the intersection of interior design and family life, revealing the humor, heart, and lessons found in both. A midwestern native with a tireless work ethic, she raised four daughters while running a design firm—an experience she jokes qualifies her to run a small country. A former HGTV guest, she holds degrees in interior design and writing. Gutted is her debut book. Maida lives in Lake in the Hills, Illinois, with her husband.
