Magic Bridge, a New Book from Author Thomasina Burke
How far would you travel to keep a promise to someone you love? Where do you find the strength to do the hardest thing imaginable to ease the suffering of the one you love at the darkest moment of their life? The characters in "Magic Bridge" are faced with these questions in a compelling and thoughtful story involving love, world travel, and the completion of an epic journey.
Characters Bridgette Madden and Matt Decker crash into each other, literally, in the wilderness of Arizona’s Bradshaw Mountains. This begins a relationship full of adventures that circles the globe; castles in Germany, the gentle beauty of Ireland, Nepal’s Himalayas, the seas of Honduras, Italy’s shimmering Cinque Terre, and finally back to Arizona where it all began.
At the end, Bridgette finds the strength to honor a commitment to her husband, Matt and return to the places they loved the best.
Readers will love both the story and the settings, all beautifully described in a heart-felt and straightforward style.
I’ve tried to give the reader a portrait of some of the most amazing parts of the world, inspired by my own travel and life experiences, and a story of love straight from my heart. I hope that they enjoy reading the book as much as I did writing it for them – Thomasina Burke
