The Bridge by Karen Kingsbury. I really loved this book. This would be a great book for a book club - I wish she would have included discussion questions at the end.
The Bridge is a book store - but it is also a metaphor for the thing that connects us - a bridge to connect yesterday and tomorrow. A bridge to connect people to each other. The book is about second chances - about lost love and finding their way back to each other. This book is about the demonstrating that God is in control even when we can't see His amazing hand at work. And this book reminds us that things are not always as they seem --- and to ask questions when something seems odd or off. We, often times, judge others by assumptions we make - and those assumptions might not be true - so ask the question. Stop being afraid of the answer and ask the questions --- because we might just be pleasantly surprised at what we find out.
This book is a must read - it has a predictable ending. Still, it is an enjoyable story - well written.
