CrossReads Short Takes
Egan
by Kenneth Robert
A man alone, looking for peace. Was this the place? Pain, romance, fulfillment, responsibility, death, life: Egan would face them all with his guns, his fists, his very soul.
A woman seeking solace, joy, support, acceptance: Pru had needs and wants that she and her children could not fill.
A community facing Indian wars, gold strikes, and crime.
They would all come together in a test of faith and the ties that bind.
And over it all the Presence of God at work.
The Bridge
(The Bracken Series Book 1)
by Jeri Massi
Princess Rosalynn is pretty, spoiled, and childish. She gives no thought to the men and women that protect her father’s throne. Then one day, invaders from the enormous kingdom across the river storm across the Bridge and conquer the royal castle. Alone and in danger, Rosalynn sets out on foot to find her father. Driven by fear, she finds the Bridge and crosses it. In the enemy kingdom, she meets an unexpected friend–a woman who has discovered a secret way to save Rosalynn’s kingdom. Together Rosalynn and the wise woman face enemy soldiers, wicked outlaws, and the wilds of the river on their quest to save her tiny kingdom. Their goal is the Bridge itself and the secret that it holds.
