Across the Bridge is on sale for 99 cents on Kindle! I was thrilled to see it reach #2 in Contemporary Christian Romance books yesterday on Amazon. If you haven’t read it, now’s the perfect time to buy — or forward this to a friend.
Across the Bridge felt the most personal of the three novels I’ve written. As I’ve watched Todd’s body slowly decline these past nine years, I’ve struggled with God and the suffering in the world.
I heard some advice on writing — “Tell a story about what you don’t understand.” When story is an exploration, there’s authenticity in the writing. Life is hard, so how do we persevere? How do we make peace with questions that can’t be answered?
I wrestle alongside my character Marcella Seppa as she struggles and grows. She’s hesitant to get close to widower Drew Smith, afraid of hurting his son AJ in the same way she was hurt when her father remarried within a year of her mother dying.
Across the Bridge is the only novel that made me cry while writing it, as if I was watching movie scenes unfold in my mind as I explored themes of love, loss, faith, doubt, and also beauty and joy.
I hope that as you read Across the Bridge you’ll feel the richness I felt writing it.
