Description
Brick by Brick is an unusually complex narrative and a fabulously intricate story that on the surface might appear to be a simplistic tale about a man who once volunteered his time to work with special-needs children at a local neighborhood homework center. Before long, however, a layer of intrigue is added as the reader comes to know Bert intimately through the powerful images of childhood, the places of escape, the lessons learned, and the mysteries unraveled. Ultimately this is a story of one man's artistic creation of a window in time through which he journeys, finding the strength within himself to face the haunting images of his past; by doing so, he chooses to set in motion a personal process of healing as he faces his demons and tears down the walls of denial the same way in which they were built: Brick by Brick.
