The Forever Bridge

by T. Greenwood

             

            Set in a small town in Vermont, The Forever Bridge begins with a storm that fractures a family and ends with a storm that holds the possibility of healing that fracture.

            Sylvie is a woman who can no longer face the world after the death of her son in an accident. For two years she has closeted herself in her home believing the world to be a dangerous place.

            Ruby is Sylvie’s eleven year old daughter. For her, the accident took not only her brother, but also her mother. Living with her father, Ruby longs for her mother. Alternating between pity and anger, Ruby tries to navigate the mine field that is her mother’s world.

            Nessa was a throw away child. Now seventeen and pregnant, she longs for the only thing she has ever wanted; a home. Returning to Vermont to find her mother, she carries secrets that could destroy some lives and heal others.

            These three lives are on a collision course that will explode one night as a hurricane bears down on their small town.

            Beautifully written, The Forever Bridge may just be Greenwood’s best novel to date. Her books are always a joyous, sad, funny, heart breaking, lush, barren and thought provoking examinations of relationships. This book is no exception.

            If you've read T. Greenwood’s novels before, you will love this book. If not, you're in for a treat. A must buy.
