Don Rose came to the US alone from England in 1908. By 1941 he was one of Philadelphia's best-known newspaper columnists. That year he published his gentle, funny memoir My Own Four Walls, the story of the ramshackle farmhouse he and his wife turned into a home. One of his grandsons, Neil Genzlinger, brings that book back to life.
