The Bridge (2003) - Plot & Excerpts

I had the privilege to meet Solomon Jones at a book signing and chat with him. I told him how I enjoy his weekly column and his style of writing; got my book signed and went back to work. That's when it all began. I actually started reading the book while still at work. I read it on the way home. I read it once I got home. I read it before I went to sleep. I literally could not put this book down until I figured out what happened to Kenya. This novel is a page turner that grips you from beginning to the end. If you've ever been to the hood in Philadelphia, you knew exactly where Solomon was taking you. If you've never been to the hood in Philadelphia, the detailed descriptions he offers allow you to "see" the projects where Kenya lived for yourself. This book is about secrets. No matter how long a secret is buried, there will always be someone to dig it up.

A suspenseful, unpredictable and mind boggling read of who dun what, when, where and how! From the very beginning, I was enthralled in every page of the emotional roller coaster of "The Bridge". With a family full of dirty secrets, greed and lies.... Nothing is as it seems living in "The Bridge". Each chapter pulled me in a lil deeper, taunting and tugging at my heart strings. I found myself holding on to hope, not able 2 rest until I learned the fate of lil Kenya.Ebony EyeCU Reading & Social Network
