The Bridge
By Karen Kingsbury
For thirty years Charlie and Donna
Barton have run The Bridge a book store in Tennessee, not only do they sell
books but through the years have touched the lives of many people around them.
This includes Molly Allen and Ryan Kelly who met in college and would use The
Bridge as their own secret hideout. Years later Molly and Ryan have drifted
apart and The Bridge has been hit by hard times after a devastating flood. Now
Molly and Ryan are reunited to save their beloved bookstore and maybe work
through the hurt of their pasts.
Karen Kingsbury has now made it onto
my “Evil Evil Authors” list, I think I cried throughout three fourths of this
novella so I definitely recommend grabbing a box of tissues to have by your
side as Karen Kingsbury is a master at playing with your heart strings. This
was such a beautiful novel of how the smallest thing can truly change a
person’s life forever. Each person has a story and Charlie has become a part of
that by showing a simple act of kindness to those around him. Karen Kingsbury
manages to incorporate so much in such a short book not only Molly and Ryan’s
story but also Charlie and Donna and even glimpses into the lives of the many
people who were affected by the bookstore. I absolutely loved this book it’s
just a simple yet beautiful Christian romance yet the story will stay with you.
