Fiction from the Ragged Edge of Faith A spark ignites when Marcella Seppa meets her new tenant, widower Drew Smith, but she won't consider dating him. She doesn't want his son, AJ, to experience the hurt she felt when her dad remarried shortly after her mom died. Her faith unraveled, and she threw herself into exercise and gardening and avoided relationships, but now Drew seeks her support when a rumor spreads that Drew may not be AJ's biological father. Will Drew leave Copper Island, or will he stay to find out the truth? Is it possible for their friendship to become something more? How will it affect AJ? Could love help make peace with the past? Love weaves its way through the messiness of life on Copper Island. Across the Bridge is the third book in the Copper Island series, but it can be read as a stand-alone novel. Readers who love the characters from the first two books in the series will be glad to catch up with Grandma Lou, Mak, Danny, and Beth in this touching story set on Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula.
