I would probably give this 3 1/2 stars. I have to admit, this Wayne my favorite book by this author, but still a good story. I learned a little bit about the Golden Bridge that I didn't know.

Katie is tasked to write a report about the bridge for its anniversary. While doing research, she finds a journal in her fathers things. Her father was a worker on the bridge and was also trained to talk jumpers off the bridge until one day he lost his life on the job. The journal is written by a Patrick O'Riley who worked on the bridge while it was being built. In this journal, Katie not only learns about Patrick and his sacrifices, but learns alot of life lessons and advice.

After a tragic accident, Dave Riley leaves his home and job, takes off on a Harley, and drives across the, country to the bridge. His grandfather said answers could be found at the bridge and that is what Dave is looking for.

I did like reading about Dave's story as well as Katie's, but I felt like there should have been more to Katie's. I did like reading how both characters found solace and peace at the bridge. But saddened to read how many people use that bridge to escape the turmoils of this life. I did find a little bit of providence for both characters, but just didn't feel like there was a lot of meat to either story. However, the story was engaging and easy to read.
