I pretty much love everything Camron Wright writes! His characters have depth, his historical references are interesting and the storyline is engaging.

This was a slow book for me and took me a few weeks to get through. It wasn’t my favorite Camron Wright book, but it is both heartbreaking and heartwarming, and it left me feeling better off for having read it. It’s a story that will stick with me.

It took a few chapters to get into this book, but I ended up enjoying it! Both of the main characters are trying to find their way after tragedy strikes. I enjoyed learning about the Golden Gate Bridge from the perspective of those who worked on it. I loved how words from the past apply so well today.

As a female and feminist, this book sometimes bothered me. I HATED when the author wrote that the character was "a woman with high emotions" (not a direct quote). If it had been a man, he would have simply written that his emotions were high. Also, it was annoying how the mother character in the book was so happy to be "nurturing" children in this time of her life, while the father character missed his freedom. Stereotypical gender roles/emotions....GRRRRR!!!! While reading the book, I could never forget that I was reading a male author, and I dislike when the author's voice never slips from my consciousness, allowing the story and characters to dominate.
