The Bridge

MOLLY ALLEN LIVES ALONE in Portland, but she left her heart back in
Tennessee with a man she walked away from five years ago. Ryan Kelly lives in Nashville after several years on the road touring with a country music duo. He can still hear the voice of the girl he can't get out of his head. At least he can visit The Bridge—the oldest bookstore in historic downtown Franklin—and remember the hours he and Molly once spent there.

For thirty years, Charlie and Donna Barton have run The Bridge, even through dismal book sales and the rise of digital books. Then in May, the hundred-year flood swept through Franklin and destroyed nearly every book in the store. Now the bank is pulling the lease. Despondent and without answers, Charlie drives through a blinding snowstorm and considers ending his life. But before he can decide, he hits black ice and crashes.

Suddenly, everything changes, and, in the face of miscommunication, lost opportunities, and tragedy, miracles and second chances begin to unfold.
