This is the story of Armando Ortiz. Armando came to the US from Mexico where he had worked in the tile factories as a teenager. While in Texas, he meets Rosa. They get married, have two children, and move to Houston where Armando works for roofing companies putting shingles on housetops in the blistering heat of the day. But Armando vows he will not do this the rest of his life. Someday he will live the American Dream as millions of immigrants before him have done. He will own his own business, his own roofing company. Yet, setbacks are many and Armando doubts that his dream will ever come true. Just when he is about to give up, something happens that Armando could never have imagined. All the Burning Rooftops is a tale of sadness, hope, and joy-an American drama as true as life itself.
