What is Rise: How a House Built a Family: How a House Built a Family about?

<p><b>If you were inspired by <i>Wild</i> and <i>Eat, Pray, Love</i>, you’ll love this extraordinary true story of a woman taking the greatest risk of her life in order to heal from the unthinkable. </b><br><br>After escaping an abusive marriage, Cara Brookins had four children to provide for and no one to turn to but herself. In desperate need of a home but without the means to buy one, she did something incredible. <br><br>Equipped only with YouTube instructional videos, a small bank loan and a mile-wide stubborn streak, Cara built her own house from the foundation up with a work crew made up of her four children. <br><br>It would be the hardest thing she had ever done. With no experience nailing together anything bigger than a bookshelf, she and her kids poured concrete, framed the walls and laid bricks for their two story, five bedroom house. She had convinced herself that if they could build a house, they could rebuild their broken family. <br><br>This must-read memoir traces one family’s rise from battered victims to stronger, better versions of themselves, all through one extraordinary do-it-yourself project.</p>
