THE BRIDGE TO PARADISE is the third and final book in the Topsail Island trilogy by Carol Ann Ross.
It is the continuing story of the Scaggins and Rosell families. As Topsail Island continues to develop, so do the lives of the residents of Topsail and the surrounding communities.
"There's salt water in them there veins." Or so her daddy would say, Carol will not deny this fact. She's spent more hours walking the beach, body surfing the waves, and fishing in the Gulf Stream than she can count. Her stories offer reflections of those experiences. A dash of nefarious characters, murderous souls, impassioned lovers and good old boys and gals are thrown in because Carol was compelled to include them.
"People inspire me," she says. "The guy with the bushy eyebrows, the young lovers strolling on the fishing pier. The rowdy kids throwing rocks at passersby...the news, life, my dog, and everything else. They are all fodder for stories."
Thirtieth third and last book about Topsail Island families, love, loss, friendships, and the beach. It is an easy read trilogy of good people. The author grew up on Topsail and lives there still.
