Synopses & Reviews
A memoir with all the page-turning drama of a good novel, Brick by Brick tells the author's story of coming of age in the gritty South End of New Bedford, Massachusetts, as a tough, broke teenage dropout without direction . . . until she took a job as a bricklayer. She put up with taunts and jeers from her male co-workers on the job--and soon enough she had them working for HER at her own successful construction company. PUBLISHERS WEEKLY proclaimed With a fresh, intimate voice, Donohue honors the will to survive and thrive. A Benjamin Franklin Award finalist.
