What if the most powerful lessons in life weren't taught-but lived? From childhood summers spent hauling shingles and hammering nails, to adult years navigating motherhood, grief, and growth, Raised on Rooftops is a heartfelt memoir that explores how legacy is built-not just through words, but through work, laughter, and love. Cari Smith, the daughter of a patient and practical small-town roofer, tells deeply relatable stories that span the roles of daughter, wife, and mother. Organized in three sections, the book moves from rooftop projects to dinner table confessions, bedtime routines, and quiet moments of unexpected clarity. Through humor, humility, and hope, Smith captures the beauty in the mundane and the sacred in the everyday. Perfect for fans of Ann Voskamp, Shannon K. Evans, Jennifer Fulwiler or Jamie Ivey, Raised on Rooftops will resonate with anyone who cherishes family, faith, and storytelling. Includes a free downloadable companion journal, The Rooftop Reflection Journal, to help readers begin capturing their own family legacy.
