A Novel.

Pick Cantrell is a successful newspaper cartoonist whose career has hit the skids. Fired from his job in New York and in the grip of a midlife crisis, he returns with his wife and son to a small North Carolina town, where he confronts the ghosts of his past in the form of the family matriarch and his boyhood nemesis, Mama Lucy.

While attempting to renovate an old house and repair his damaged marriage, Pick discovers his family's ties to the historic home and his own connection to a place he belonged to long before it ever belonged to him. What follows is an extraordinary story within a story, as Pick uncovers startling truths about himself and about the role his grandmother played in the tragic general textile strike of 1934.

Moving from New York City to the storied back roads of the old South, 'The Bridge' is a sweeping and poignant tale of love and betrayal, forbidden passions, long-buried secrets and a man's struggle with his heritage and with himself. Enter the ancient bridge where past and present meet . . .

A novel both comic and tragic, 'The Bridge' explores how much we ever really know about others and most importantly, about ourselves.
