The Bridge by Karen Kingsbury

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


For thirty years, The Bridge has been there for anyone who wanted a good book, conversation or just a place to hang out. Charlie and Donna Barton started the bookstore to help others and to heal after the loss of their baby girl. Now, after a one-hundred-year flood, Charlie has no books, no money, and no lease on The Bridge. But he still has faith.

Molly Allen and Ryan Kelly fell in love at the Bridge. They spent hours there studying and talking during their first two years of college, but it all ended, abruptly. Now with things looking so hopeless for The Bridge, will everyone come together?

I first read this book shortly after it was published in 2012. I laughed and cried my way through it. It's a lovely story, one that I wanted to reread, and will likely reread every year during the Christmas season, from now on. It's a wonderful story, especially for those who have a love for books and reading. It touches the heart.
