Nominated for multiple literary awards, BRIDGES has been called "poignant, sentimental yet down-to-earth, and just plain beautiful." It has been compared with Harper Lee's classic, "To Kill a Mockingbird." Chesapeake is a sleepy place in June of 1953. Construction on the O’Bannion River Bridge is on schedule and almost half complete, but outside circumstances threaten to slow its progress to a crawl. The engineers assume a company bureaucrat will appear to solve the problem, but it’s seven-year-old Lindy who proves the unlikely heroine. Unforgettable characters such as Mrs. Wyndham, Daddy Newport, Mr. O’ Malley, Lindy and her father all live on in Bridges. If ever in your heart’s travels you cross a bridge of your own, you’ll find Lindy's legacy of steel, sweat and love still hovering over the waters.
