A Bride's Bridge

By Marilyn Jacobson White

A wedding day may be laced with hope, fear, uncertainty, and trust...much like crossing a rope bridge.
As she crosses over, she hopes to find her groom in the middle with her, steady and confident in their love.

"Marriage is like a bridge, isn't it? We come from two different worlds and when the bridge is finally completed, we can cross it and marry one another to begin our safe, well-supported life together."

Tiana Pearce, a forty-year-old Phys Ed teacher from Kansas was being rushed into a quick wedding with the man of her dreams, Danny Pine. He's an actor, a dreamer, but a philosophically romantic man who lives on a horse ranch. After a tragic miscarriage, she cancels the wedding and loses all focus on her future. She insists she must go to her ancestral home of Lebanon to find her soul and decide if she will marry him. She has a broken spirit but a strong resolve. Will the Lebanese help her?

Her traveling companion is not Danny; he's too busy to cut and run. Dorothy, a healthy octogenarian and aunt to her good friend, has also experienced a recent trauma-a tornado destroyed her home. She travels with Tiana for a different purpose. Widowed twice before age 30, she has bridged the majority of her years alone, and now, she is on the hunt for a third husband. He must be lovable, charming, and intelligent, but foremost, a Christian. But does such a man in her generation exist who will desire her?

They lodge at the American Embassy residence in Beirut with distant relatives and quickly become embedded in the consequences of decades of war, including the current war in Ukraine. Tiana discovers orphaned children metaphorically standing on her bridge between her and Danny. The Ambassador expects her to adopt them; they are her distant family. It's a hurdle she can't jump alone. Danny must be her pillar of strength. But will he hold her up or crumble?

Marilyn Jacobson White is the author of many Christian fiction novels and a poetry book. She writes to entertain with clean romance stories which exemplify the goodness of God.
