Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Aus dem Klappentext

id, you?ve got three strikes against you. You?re not strong enough, you?re not tall enough, and you?re a woman.? These fighting words might have stopped some women, but not Lynn Donohue. Instead, they fueled her determination to become a master bricklayer. Armed with nothing more than a passion for the work and a dream to succeed, she was willing to take the risk? 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. Lynn Donohue built her life brick by brick, and that's what makes this story so compelling. "?
