“Rise: How a House Built a Family” is a compelling memoir by Cara Brookins that chronicles her extraordinary journey of rebuilding her life and family from the ground up. After escaping an abusive marriage, Cara found herself at a crossroads, needing to create a safe and stable home for her four children. Without the financial means to hire a construction crew and no prior building experience, Cara turned to an unconventional source of guidance—YouTube tutorials.
Determined and driven by necessity, Cara and her children embarked on the ambitious project of constructing a 3,500-square-foot house with their own hands. The book details the family’s incredible adventure, filled with challenges, setbacks, and triumphs, as they learned everything from pouring a foundation to installing plumbing and wiring.
“Rise” is more than just a story about building a house; it is a narrative about rebuilding lives. Cara’s raw and honest account of her experiences reveals the profound emotional and psychological transformation that took place during the building process. Through sweat, tears, and sheer determination, the Brookins family not only constructed a physical structure but also fortified their bonds and reclaimed their strength and independence.
The memoir is an inspiring testament to the power of resilience, self-reliance, and the unbreakable spirit of a family united in purpose. Cara’s story underscores the idea that with determination, courage, and the willingness to learn, it is possible to overcome even the most daunting obstacles. “Rise: How a House Built a Family” is a powerful reminder that no dream is too big and no challenge insurmountable when fueled by love and perseverance.
