I probably should have read this to review before Christmas but I just heard about it from my friend Ellen this past week. She said it was short and easy to read so I read it this afternoon! Ellen was right, very easy to read.
"Number one New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury delivers an instant classic with this heartwarming Christmas story about a hundred-year flood, lost love, and the beauty of enduring friendships."
This is a "Christmas Miracle" book. Kingsbury did a great job helping you see the characters and to feel with them. With all the natural disasters we have seemed to have had in the last few years, this book resonates with people everywhere.
I really liked the characters - what's not to like when one of the main characters sells books for a living! The authors description of how this book seller feels about the books he sells really speaks to my heart!
"There's not a person in Franklin who hasn't been touched by your books and your kindness, Charlie."
"He called it The Bridge because that was how he felt about books. They connected the past and the present, the present and the future. Books brought people together and gave them a path to worlds they wouldn't otherwise experience."This book is more than a romance. It also shows strong faith and the way communities band together in times of struggle. Sometimes all we need to do is ask.
Karen Kingsbury has written several books and has a very interesting web site H.E.R.E.
In fact, I enjoyed reading her account of adoption on this site as much - or more than her books!! Very beautiful story of their adopting of 3 Haitian boys. I highly recommend you go to this website and look under "Karen on Adoption."
