Book excerpt: 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.
