"The House Built By Fire" is a searing memoir of survival, defiance, and the quiet power of rebuilding from ruin. At six years old, Gage Holliman’s world shattered—his home turned into a war zone of glass, fists, and silence. What followed was a childhood marked by domestic violence, addiction, and emotional exile—where survival became performance, and love came with bruises. But this is not a story of defeat. Told with raw honesty and poetic force, The House Built By Fire traces the journey from trauma to tenacity, from a suicide attempt that nearly ended everything to the spark that refused to die. Through broken systems and hospital corridors, through self-taught trade work and quiet resilience, Gage finds his own way forward—not to triumph, but to truth. More than memoir, this is a blueprint for those who’ve been through hell and lived to speak. With piercing insight and fierce compassion, Holliman offers readers not just his story, but permission to reclaim their own. For anyone who’s ever been told they were too much, too broken, or too late—this book dares to say: You are still here. And that means the fire is still burning.
