Don't miss this rural thriller that drives home a poignant message about the power of forgiveness. A frightened runaway wants her painful past to disappear. This small town girl's plan to start afresh is derailed when she co-inherits her late grandfather’s farm with her high school sweetheart, the one responsible for the scars on her heart. But Chance isn't the only ghost from the past. Dakota harbors a hurtful secret while trying to evade a stalker who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. A scarred man works at the local hospital, cares for his ailing grandfather, and wishes for the love he lost, certain no woman would ever want him because of his scars. Then when Amy returns to Miller's Creek with a new hair color and name, old wounds and grudges surface.

Chance's world is turned upside down in a frantic search for the woman he loves--the one who is much more than she's let on. Will Dakota come clean about her checkered past?

"Wow, I actually jumped at one point while reading. Riveting." "I loved the way, just when I thought I knew what was going on, there was a new twist. The ending caught me by surprise. I would highly recommend reading the complete Miller's Creek Series." The story of Chance and Dakota is more than a love story. It is a story of learning how to forgive and trust when it seems as if each are impossible. Each of the Miller's Creek novels enriches my life, and with each one I finish I feel as if it is the best book I've ever read until I read the next one. These books don't need to be read in any particular order to be able to follow along. Grab this book while you can and settle in for a great read with the people of Miller's Creek." "All I can say is this is one of the best books I have ever read." "As always, Cathy Bryant's stories touch a place so deep in my heart that I feel she wrote the story just for me....Excellent novel with a beautiful message in a well-written suspenseful story." "I have loved all of the books in the Miller's Creek series...I would recommend all of Cathy's book to every age group. They are well-written and have such great messages." "Could be a life changing message for many. If you like a true Christian novel that is a page-turner, this is it. Shows struggles regarding forgiveness and offers solutions. Great story-teller: suspense, mystery, tenderness. Just a great read. Hate to see anyone miss this one."

From the Author

A BRIDGE UNBROKEN is the fifth stand-alone novel in the beloved and best-selling Miller's Creek novels.The year I wrote this book, the word 'forgiveness' seemed to follow me everywhere I went. So it wasn't much of a surprise that I sensed God telling me to make this story about forgiveness. I'm always amazed at how the Lord uses my own stories in my life. He used this book to remind me that there's nothing I'm called to forgive that even comes close to what He has forgiven me.So glad He bridged the gap,Cathy :)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bridge Unbroken ~ Loved this book by Cathy Bryant.

This book is another home run for Cathy Bryant! She has a shown a knack for writing books with a balance of romance, mystery, suspense and Christianity all in one book, or actually, into a series of books. There were times I was sitting on the edge of my seat in anticipation. I loved how I thought I had it figured out only to realize ~ not so much! This book is a good read. Try it and the other books in the Miller's Creek series.

This book showed the power and importance of forgiveness and its impact on our lives. God is always there, offering what we need, waiting for us to realize that we are ready to accept it.

I read an advanced copy of this book with no expectations for a favorable review.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love the characters and each of their stories

This 7 book series is fabulous. I love the characters and each of their stories. Each book is about a different character but you still get to follow along with the presence of your favorite characters from previous books. Each book has it's own twist. I love the way God is incorporated into the books in a way that the reader can relate to. We all have our trials (maybe non as exciting as the characters) but it shows us how we can call upon God to help us get through any situation. Very well done!! Thankyou

4.0 out of 5 stars 3.8 stars: A Bridge Unbroken by Cathy Bryant
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2016

Dakota is on the run from an abusive ex, and ends up back on her late grandparents' farm, which she soon jointly inherits with Chance; they had dated in their youth, but it ended badly, and they struggle with forgiveness as they work together to fix up the farmhouse.

(Though reviews are inherently subjective, I prefer to provide some organization to my opinions through the use of a personal rubric. The following notes may contain spoilers.)

Plot and Setting: 3.5 -- Plot has unique elements and no major holes, but a few shaky bits and/or a slight lack of focus. Basically, the drama of multiple crazy stalkers AND a secret baby on top of all the other tension seemed rather much, and didn't feel believable to me. But I liked the relational/forgiveness conflicts. The Vincent red herring was also rather nice. Plot points in sub-plots are dropped or not resolved. Kane is a rather shadowy figure who comes and goes without much detail or resolution. Similarly the issue of the baby/adoption: didn't feel complete or resolved. Setting is clear and believable. (Though continuity from the previous book in the series presents the eyebrow-raising, though technically possible, scenario where Dani gives birth in April and then again the following January.)

Characters: 4 -- Main characters are relatable, realistic, interesting, and dynamic. I could understand the fears both Dakota and Chance had as they approached a re-formed relationship, although they each overreacted rather often. I was really very mad at them both at certain points, but especially Chance, who certainly had moments of being a total jerk. But his hero moments made up for that, mostly. Some minor characters have depth, while others may be slightly stereotyped or simplified. Depth from some, like Matt and Gracie, but others are definite stereotypes, like Kane and Krater. Definite strong points in the relationships between characters. I liked how both Chance and Dakota sought advice from friends.

Mechanics and Writing: 3.5 -- Scattered typos, punctuation issues, and word errors, including a few major mistakes. Definite trouble with compound words/hyphenated words/2-word phrases, as well as some misplaced punctuation, incomplete sentences because names were dropped out (ex: 'why Levi left the farm to .'), spelling issues (ex: 'Sherriff' instead of 'sheriff' for an entire scene), and odd/awkward phrases. And Chance was called Chase at least 3 times. Good use of POV (mainly Dakota and Chance, with a few bits early on from the mysterious Krater to ramp up suspense). Generally skillful writing.

Redeeming Value: 4.5 -- Well-developed, central, uplifting themes. Forgiveness is a major theme. Includes a detailed, interesting lesson/discussion on the topic, and then the examples of the struggles Dakota and especially Chance have with forgiving each other. But they eventually do so. Chance also learns that his snap judgments and grudges don't paint an accurate picture of Dakota. Sex, alcohol, violence, etc, are not glorified at all, but there are (vague) references to sexual abuse in Dakota's childhood, sexual relationships with Chance and later boyfriends, including the physically abusive Kane. Dakota has more than one crazy stalker, and creepy/violent encounters with each.

Personal Enjoyment: 3.5 -- I liked it. Highly enjoyable and very entertaining, with perhaps an issue or two that tempered my pleasure. I wouldn’t mind re-reading it someday, but it’s not a priority.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forgiveness

Once again I was drawn into the story if two other Miller's Creek characters. This morning I finished Bo and Mama Beth's story only to start Dakota and Chance's story. The story is beautifully written and draws you in but the lesson about forgiveness in this story could be used to get the attention of many. Mrs. Bryant blends the tales of the Miller's Creek characters in with such wonderful ways a Christian can learn, grow, and perhaps not even realize until the end just how she needed the scripture and lessons we can grow our spiritual journey with. God gives us what we need when we need it and each book in this series has given me something.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine Christian Romance
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018

I have read most of the books in this series, and keep coming back to Cathy Bryant when I want a wholesome and entertaining read, and a bonus if it's about Texas. I also like reading books that have characters I can care about, without being too perfect to believe it too horrible to put up with. And finally, as a Christian reader, I want Christian fiction that isn't too sappy or too preachy, and I want a good story that isn't too predictable. This novel threw a couple of curve balls into the narrative I did not see coming, although the hints were there. I have the next book in my library, and hope to find an answer to one of the questions I still had at the end further along in the series, but in spite of this, the novel ended, satisfying all my criteria, as it should have, happily.

3.5 Stars, Unanswered questions. Stand-alone that is easy to follow and not to heavy on religion. Interesting storyline with a couple of twists to keep the reader's interest.

Not all questions are answered. For example is the child in a safe environment?

Believable characters with distinct personalities. Thought-provoking dialogue.

Ouchiewawa!

'...true forgiveness occurs when we're able to release both the offense and the offender.'

"You don't do anyone a favor when you allow them to treat you poorly."

No desire to re-read this story. I may be interested in other works by this author.

This was a touching story and I really enjoyed it and the faith message on forgiveness. There were times though when I became very frustrated with Chance's attitude. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
