My Mother’s Bridge

The holidays always bring to mind those who are no longer here to celebrate with us. I'd like to share something I wrote about my Mom.

Four young girls, the youngest perhaps eleven, the oldest still a teen, fell sobbing at the sight of the twisted, fallen steel. They had walked for days, hungry, scared, hiding in trees as soldiers searched below. The railroad bridge, the only route across the rive

Parallel Secrets by M.L. Barrs
"Loved this book. It kept me turning the pages and guessing whodunit. The characters are believable and well developed. I was certain Pete was modeled after my husband—but maybe the author just got to the bottom of men’s personalities and tendencies. " Read more of this review »
