The Bridge Between
Description
2020 Selah Award Winner Return to Edisto with this inspirational story about second chances, first loves, and family secrets ... When Louisa Halloway returns to the Lowcountry as caretaker for her family's Edisto Island home, she finally has the opportunity to pursue her lifelong dream of a doctorate degree. Especially since David, her ex-husband, relocates with her and their teenage sons so they can continue to effectively co-parent. Here, among the oak canopies and sunset beaches, their once strained relationship eases into a familiar pace-with the possibility for more. But then Liam Whiting, a local professor studying tidal creek preservation, invites Lou to join his research team, encouraging her growing passion for the ecosystem of this place that lives by the rhythm of the tides. As Lou builds a friendship with Liam, David leans on Grace Watson, whose son is engaged to his and Lou's daughter, Cora Anne. As old wounds are reopened and past secrets are unveiled, David and Lou must decide if their marriage is worth revisiting. Like the tidal creeks of this idyllic setting, relationships deepen and shift. Can sifting through the sediment of past hurts restore this family? A follow up to Still Waters, the 2018 Selah Book of the Year, The Bridge Between has been praised by reviewers as "breathtakingly beautiful ... weaving together themes of family, forgiveness, and unrelenting, unwavering love ..."Product Details

Reviews
Lindsey Brackett, once again, brings Edisto to life in her second novel The Bridge Between. Her descriptions of the island were so real and stirring, I needed to step out of my office located on Edisto, and go take it in for myself! Her characters capture interest right away and her ability to project their emotions and empathy is a rare talent.

In The Bridge Between, Lindsey Brackett has penned a story that will hit you in the heart, in that sacred place between the sweet and the bitter. Reminding us that forgiveness is the only way to truly heal tangled thens and broken nows, she weaves a beautiful, sometimes heart-aching, tapestry of two families who stand at the cusp of what was always meant to be. A must-read!
Carrie Schmidt, ReadingIsMySuperPower.org
A delightful story, rich in detail and nuance in both setting and character. The Bridge Between is insightful as to the heart's motivation and celebrates Southern culture as focused on South Carolina's wind-swept Edisto Island. This is a wonderfully entwined story that examines inter-personal relationships, the meaning of family ties, life's choices and far-reaching repercussions. Relatable, engaging, and full of well-drawn personality, The Bridge Between is an absorbing, satisfying read.
