Synopsis
Brick by Brick is not just a book about a bricklayer; it's an exploration of one woman's life journey. A journey that parallels many in her generation—from her tumultuous childhood to her hippie days living in an urban commune...from being trapped in a dead-end job to building a professional career. Her true-grit story brings a fresh perspective to growing up in small-city America. There is no magic here—Lynn Donohue builds her life brick by brick, and that's what makes this story so compelling.

From the Inside Flap
I did not set out to become a bricklayer. I did not set out to become anything at all. I was adrift, without direction, and I wasn't even looking to get on course. And then one day something happened. It's these random events that change our lives—we go a different route, we bump into somebody, we read something, and this small, unlikely event propels us into a whole new universe. – Lynne donohue
About the Author

She drops out of school at 15 and is heading nowhere, without a plan or a future. Eventually she takes a masonry course and embarks on a career as a bricklayer. The work is hard and the money is good, but it's the beauty and rhythm of the work that give her a sense of purpose and empowerment.

Undaunted she forms her own company which becomes a multi-million dollar business and earns her a solid reputation in the construction world. As she struggles to make her way to the top of her profession, she begins a much more difficult journey of personal growth.; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 001687
