Before I ever got this book, I thought the Bridge Tender was a person who fixed bridges or is about to fix a bridge (like in a relationship) and thought this book might be a little sappy with the love. But when I actually read it, the relationship that Emily had made sense. Even though it was a little cliche, the author made good points in connecting the bridge metaphorically.
This book is about: Emily realizing that her dreams didn't have to die with her first love. When Emily Shaw, a young widow, learns that her late husband's last surprise for her involves returning to Sunset Beach, North Carolina, to realize an old dream of theirs, she reluctantly embarks on a summer of discovery in the midst of grief.
There, in the oasis of the beach community, she meets a host of townspeople with their own broken dreams and unexpected situations. As the island citizens divide over the fate of a nostalgic bridge, Emily happens upon a man who just may be the one to restore her faith in dreams, hope, and possibly love.
