Two coasts. Two strangers. And a bridge that silently beckons them both. Katie Connelly has lived in San Francisco all her life. Her late father made his career on the Golden Gate Bridge, and the many stories of how he saved jumpers still haunt her. And now her job assignment is to write about the history of the bridge-a history that includes a secret journal about a promise ring and a love story that may be the answer to her unresolved sorrow. Meanwhile, Dave Riley, a marketing executive in New York, has sorrows of his own. Grasping at straws after tragedy strikes his family, he decides to follow a daydream that has turned into an obsession: to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge on a motorcycle on the Fourth of July. Does the bridge somehow mysteriously hold the answers both Katie and Dave are looking for? Or will they find something completely different when they get to the other side?

A wonderful read with tones of love, loss, and life's purpose with the backstory of the history of the Golden Gate Bridge. The book’s two characters both dealt with grief and loss, with only the bridge in common.
The book was well written and brought in both characters, who were joined by a single person. Kate, a researcher, found herself looking for the author of a journal who documented the building of the Golden Gate Bridge. Patrick, having experienced a great loss, who was searching for meaning. For most of the book, it seemed like it would have a formulaic end. I was relieved the book didn’t follow the predictability of many books and sink into a bland ending.
You know it is a good story when you feel in touch with the main character and his search for purpose in life. Losing everything you love makes you question life and meaning.
I want to thank #netgalley for the opportunity to read and honestly review this book in advance of the publishing date. (
