Bridget, a fair minded person by nature, can find no peace in being caught between her narcissistic husband and her sociopathic daughter. She gives and they take, with the things in life she cares most about trampled underfoot. Hope and denial are her only friends… until she resolves to change.Bridget is the story of a mother's struggle in building bridges to her family. Told within a backdrop of contradictions - of lush golf courses that confound and frustrate, of finding meaning in the meaninglessness of a freeway commute, of outward beauty that veils raw ugliness, and of love's brokenhearted persistence - the novel explores what it means to be at peace in unhealthy relationships.
