"There is a land of the living and a land of the dead,
and the bridge is love - the only survival, the only meaning." Thornton
Wilder
About the Book: Sometimes you must tiptoe across that bridge linking this
world with the next. Sometimes, it is the only way to put the twisted pieces of
one's life back together again.
Beth Calhoun is a middle-aged woman haunted by a tragic past
- the drowning death of her young mother, the shame of having no father.
Escaping from an abusive marriage, she retreats to her family's wilderness
island home on Rainy Lake along the Minnesota/Ontario international border.
Here she embarks upon a journey of self-discovery that flows through a series
of wilderness adventures, past and present. As she delves into her mother's old
diaries, she discovers long-held family secrets including the identity of her
mysterious father. Spirits of the past emerge as she struggles through a
complex web of emotions and shifting relationships. Can she forgive and put the
past behind her? Can she learn to trust and to love again?
