The Bridge - Paperback

by Lisa T. Bergren (Author)

"I have only one complaint about THE BRIDGE--once you pick it up, you can't put it down, no matter how much you might need to sleep or perform other essential daily functions. This is a masterfully told, riveting story about characters so real you'll be carrying on conversations with them weeks after you finish the book." --Carolyn Arends, recording artist and author"...grabs your heart and never lets go, sending it rushing downstream toward a heart-wrenching, yet ultimately redemptive conclusion. Bergren has outdone herself with this powerful story." --Liz Curtis Higgs, bestselling authorLOVE CAN BUILD A BRIDGE...After a tragic accident along the Swan River took the life of his mother, young Jared Conway grew up thinking little of the family he lost.

Jared's plan is simple: to spend time with his child and to clean out the cabin he has inherited, in order to make a quick sale in the hot real-estate market.But when he gets to the river in Montana, Jared encounters three things that will change his life forever: the forces that have been driving him toward empty success, love for a spiritually grounded ceramist named Eden Powell, and the bridge that will finally lead him home.
