<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Katie Connelly has lived in San Francisco all her life. Her late father made his career on the Golden Gate Bridge, and the many stories of how he saved jumpers still haunt her. And now her job assignment is to write about the history of the bridge--a history that includes a secret journal about a promise ring and a love story that may be the answer to her unresolved sorrow. Meanwhile, Dave Riley, a marketing executive in New York, has sorrows of his own. Grasping at straws after tragedy strikes his family, he decides to follow a daydream that has turned into an obsession: to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge on a motorcycle on the Fourth of July. Does the bridge somehow mysteriously hold the answers both Katie and Dave are looking for? Or will they find something completely different when they get to the other side?"--<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Two coasts.

There is an affirming underlying message that the goodness in people can help others overcome hardship, making this a satisfying novel that will appeal to a wide audience."-- "Publishers Weekly" (5/27/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Wright follows the seemingly separate lives of two grieving strangers...In San Francisco, Katie discovers a diary written by one of the original builders [of the Golden Gate Bridge] and becomes obsessed with returning it to the author's family. In New York, Dave, reeling from an unimaginable tragedy, embarks on a cross-country trip to fulfill a dream of riding a motorcycle across the Golden Gate Bridge. Wright's characters' stories intersect in ways that are surprising and ultimately satisfying."-- "Booklist" (1/22/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Camron Wright holds a master's degree in writing and public relations.
