The Bridge

By Karen Kingsbury

Book Overview

Fromt the New York Times bestselling author of Someone Like You, Karen Kingsbury's heartwarming story about two couples, love lost and found, and the miracle that saved a bookstore is also the basis for a Hallmark Channel movie.#1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury has written a modern-day classic with this unforgettable love story set against the struggle of the American bookstore. Molly Allen lives alone in Portland, but she left her heart back in Tennessee when she walked away from Ryan five years ago. They had a rare sort of love she hasn't found since. Ryan Kelly lives in Nashville after a broken engagement and several years on the road touring with a country music duo. Sometimes when he's lonely, he visits The Bridge--the oldest bookstore in historic downtown Franklin--and remembers the hours he and Molly once spent there. For over four decades, Charlie and Donna Barton have run The Bridge, providing customers with coffee, conversation, and shelves of classics--even through dismal sales and the rise of digital books. Then the hundred-year flood sweeps through Franklin and destroys everything. The bank is about to pull the store's lease when tragedy strikes. Can two generations of readers rally together to save The Bridge? And is it possible that an unforgettable love might lead to the miracle of a second chance?

Great story

Best Author

Karen Kingsbury nails it again!! Every book she writes is amazing. I wish I would have read her books when I was younger to help shape me into a better person at a younger age. I would highly recommend this book for all women!!

The Bridge reminds us of our own bridges in this life

I saw the movie first, and now have just read the book. This is a great book for me to read at this time, with all the flooding and fires and earthquakes our world is suffering. I took in the sharing, the loss, the love stories and how they came together and how the dream of two people became a BRIDGE for many! Thank you Karen Kingsbury for a great and believable read. I would recommend this one. An easy read. I also enjoyed reading the short story THE BEGINNING at the end of this book. It describes a few of the main characters and their situations and how they got into this book.

This is a new author for me but I will be reading more. Story is nicely paced and could not put down
