Molly Allen lives alone in Portland, but she left her heart back in Tennessee when she walked away from Ryan five years ago. They had a rare sort of love she hasn't found since. <p/>Ryan Kelly lives in Nashville after a broken engagement and several years on the road touring with a country music duo. Sometimes when he's lonely, he visits The Bridge--the oldest bookstore in historic downtown Franklin--and remembers the hours he and Molly once spent there. <p/>For over four decades, Charlie and Donna Barton have run The Bridge, providing customers with coffee, conversation, and shelves of classics--even through dismal sales and the rise of digital books. Then the hundred-year flood sweeps through Franklin and destroys everything. The bank is about to pull the store's lease when tragedy strikes. Can two generations of readers rally together to save The Bridge? And is it possible that an unforgettable love might lead to the miracle of a second chance?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Reader Praise for <i>The Bridge: <br> </i></b><br> "<i>The Bridge</i> is a reminder that all things aren't as they seem.
