New Bedford, Massachusetts: Spinner Pubns Inc. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0932027571 . Hardcover, 269 pages in fine condition with fine dustjacket. This is a memoir_ the tough inspiring story of a young woman who comes of age in New Bedford, Massachusetts in the 1970s. 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. She breaks into unions, battles prejudice, but no one will accept a woman as foreman of a building project. 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 .
