"From bartending to bricklaying and beyond... One woman's unorthodox and gutsy journey... Brick By Brick inspired me page by page to never forget that with hard work my dreams can always come true."
-Joan Anderson, author of A Year by the Sea


"Donohue takes the reader Brick by Brick on the road from despair to confidence... With a fresh, intimate voice, Donohue honors the will to survive and thrive."
-Publishers Weekly


"Brick By Brick... tells an emblematic story with humor and vitality and includes some extraordinary descriptive passages. Donohue's vivid portraits of working- class New Bedford neighborhoods... have enlarged this story's motivational power and historic value."
-Susan Eisenberg, The Women's Review of Books


"Eloquent in its simplicity and directness, the book is the story of Donohue's life... read the book; it's a real inspiration."
-Doug Riggs, Providence Sunday Journal


"Brick By Brick is not just a book about a bricklayer; it's a memoir, an exploration of one woman's life journey... Her true-grit story brings a fresh perspective to growing up in small-town America. There is no magic here - Lynn Donohue builds her life brick by brick, and that's what makes this story so compelling."
-Cape Women
