For fans of Jodi Picoult and Sue Miller, a dark, edgy, page-turning debut about the
lengths one woman will travel to escape her past
After a ten-year absence, Alex 'Cat' Rucker returns to her Ohio hometown because of
a letter left on her mother's kitchen table - a suicide note, carefully preserved
in a Ziploc. bag, that reads:
'He isn't who you think he is. Love, Mom'
Thus opens this stunning debut novel from author Teri Coyne, who, with wry humor
and sharp wit, follows Alex's journey through the traumatic experiences of her youth
and the haze of her adult life.
While Alex tries to repress the memories of her brutal childhood - an abusive father,
her estranged (and possibly illegitimate) brother, and the first love who would do
anything to save her - she must face just how shattered she still is. At each step
Alex confronts her biggest fears, realizes the impact of her choices, and inches
closer to redemption. Can she embrace her vulnerabilities, talents, and desire for
love, or will the revelations of her mother's cryptic note prove too overwhelming
for her to bear?
The Last Bridge is a perfect blend of suspense, despair, and romance - and at its
heart lies the question: are we a product of our experiences or our choices?
