Summary:  "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. 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. 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. Cara Brookins is a computer analyst and social media marketing expert based in Little Rock. She is the author of several middle grade and young adult novels."--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Memoirs. Holds:  1   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Item type Status   J. D.
