"A beautifully constructed cautionary tale based on a true story of ambition and redemption." ~JOEY MADIA, Reedsy "A charming campus semi-romance set against the historical drama of the 1907 Quebec Bridge collapse, Andrew Palmer’s THE BRIDGE is a colorful and enjoyable novel packed with genuine heart and fascinating history." ~ROB ERRERA, IndieReader An unlikely college friendship—and an unexpected betrayal—yield life-changing results when two coeds dig into the history of the 1907 Quebec Bridge collapse. When Ben O'Betany -a misguided engineering student- is partnered with the girl he's been plagiarizing, he begins seeing the world in a new light as they research tragic events behind the Quebec Bridge disaster. Modern and Victorian era timelines intersect after the students discover a journal penned by one of the men who worked on the Alec Durand, a newlywed outsider with dreams of becoming an engineer, is thrust into responsibility after his arrogant boss neglects his duty as chief engineer, and returns to New York. The Bridge is a wonderful coming-of-age story, based on true events that changed Canadian history, and inspiring the Ritual Calling of an Engineer and the Iron Ring.
