Bridge to Return (The Tallowood Valley #2)

To move forward, she needs to let go of the past.

From outward appearances, Kathryn Harper is a success. As a determined, intelligent and in-demand graphic designer engaged to a successful businessman, her life is a blur of appointments, emails and client contracts. But beneath her perfect facade, is a woman who carries the burden of humiliation, rejection and the need for acceptance.

Abandoned by her mother as a baby, Kathryn learned to distance herself from her family and the town that created nothing but bad memories for her.

So, when she returned to Winverall Station, the family home in Tallowood Valley, for an obligatory visit, she was only expecting a short weekend stay. She wasn't anticipating inclement weather and a near tragedy to keep her there for more than a few days.

Nor was she planning on seeing Alex Finlay, the next-door neighbour whom she successfully avoided for so long after he humiliated her ten years ago.

Kathryn's time at Winverall Station is nothing like her previous visits, with childhood memories resurfacing and feelings from an unrequited love lingering, despite her best efforts to suppress them.

When a near tragedy causes her to cry out in desperation to a God she turned her back on many years ago, Kathryn is challenged to seek answers to questions that have plagued her and held her captive for many years.

Amid the upheaval and challenges she faces, Kathryn questions the meaning of her life. Can she find her way back to the family who loves her? What will it take for her to move on from the hurts of the past and know she is truly valued and loved?

A heart-warming story of forgiveness and finding acceptance in the One who offers unconditional love to all.
