From the bestselling author of Mistakes to Run With, a heartrending tale of a mother hell-bent on saving her family after her daughter's suicide attemptâdespite the destruction it might mean for herself.
When Roseâs seventeen-year-old daughter, Juliet, attempts suicide, she does everything she can to hold her family together despite the inevitable unraveling that follows. Her husband Syd thinks their daughter is fine, that sheâs going through a phase, and tells Rose sheâs overreactingâas do the doctors, the school principal, and even Juliet herself. But Rose knows her daughter better than anyone. Doesnât she?
Rose and Juliet begin to drift apart and then fade into each other until they arenât sure whoâs saving whomâor if theyâre saving each other. As Rose struggles to navigate this unknown territory, the family unwittingly makes decisions that suddenly send them all into an escalated tailspin toward disaster.
Capturing the tightly coiled tension of seeing someone on the edge of a bridge about to jump, Yasuko Thanh takes us on a journey into the psyche of a woman grappling to understand why her daughter would want to die, and how to protect her child when sheâs chosen not to protect herself.
Haunting, emotional, and unforgettable, To the Bridge shows how a bridge is not something to leap from, but something to crossâhow a mother and her daughter can find a way to connect, even when there is a river of difference raging between them.
