This was a decent "chick lit" book. Basically, the author's husband is killed and the book explores the effects on the various relationships in the family. However, it never made me cry, so it lacked an emotional punch. Also, I got annoyed by the vast wealth of the main character (not having to work for months and months after the accident, taking ski trips to Tahoe, endless descriptions of their vast houses (yes, that's plural), writing a check out for $100K "just to be fair", etc.) - not that I think tragedy discriminates by social class, but rather because I thought it made the main character harder to sympathize with. I'd rather read a story about a "real" woman who struggles to pay the bills after the loss of her husband. What better way to kill some time by getting to indulge in some chick lit. Easy to put down, easy to pick up. This story had the typical heart wrenching and joyous moments. It took a bit for me to get started but once past the first couple of chapters I easily settled into the story.The typical over the top love story between two people. In Bridge to Happiness it was Mike and March. Young couple falls in love, marriage,children, success, tragedy, and healing. This story had it all. There were parts of the book around the end where the tears were flowing as March dealt with certain situations. Enjoyable read and a free read from amazon.
