Gary,
I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed reading the pre-copy of the Bridge over the Valley". Mixing the railroad genre with a fictionalized account of a real tragedy is very compelling. I am sure others will read and enjoy this story as much as I did.

Bridge Over the Valley is a story of everyday life in the Midwest that suddenly and unexpectedly turns to tragedy. It is a modern tale with a mix of antiquity and olden times as Friedly includes experiences with contemporary life of teens and families and the aged encounters of life on a train. Readers easily develop a sense of who the characters are and their beliefs and soon begin to empathize with each of them. As tragedy strikes, the reader is stricken with grief like the characters in the book but Friedly uses a style of writing that allows readers to manage the grief as the characters learn to cope. Both the reader and characters are learning how to deal with the misfortune while also moving on to live their lives. The heroic aspects of the book and characters also allow the reader to recover easily and conquer the past heartbreak. Bridge Over the Valley is, at first, very serene, and becomes quite suspenseful and in the end, incredibly fulfilling.
