Description
What has time told you about the power of friendship in your life?
Friendships are like bridges. Bridges connect, serve as forms of contact
and transition between objects and people. In many ways Thomasine,
Rachel, and Hope are like bridges. Thomasine Mintor, more affectionately
known as Sina, is an anthropologist and feminist scholar at the
prestigious Steeplechase University in the Research Triangle Park.
Rachel Curtis Brown is a single mother of two and a special education
teacher in Nashville who loves to country-line dance. Hope Jones-McCoy
is an accountant turned healthcare administrator in Kalamazoo who is
entirely devoted to her high school sweetheart Jason.
Sina left
her North Carolina home for Chicago and her ten year reunion where she
would see close friends Rachel and Hope. She spent the first half of her
ten-year journey into everything and everybody but herself. After she
reached her threshold of tragic experiences, a spiritual awakening led
her to make a change in her life. Rachel, loyal and trusting was the
bridge that held them together. Hope Jones-McCoy went through life
masquerading self-righteousness for saintliness until the world she
spent ten years building came crashing down around her.
A bridge
that spans ten years and counting. Hope, on the surface, like the
girder. Sina, after her awakening, like the banister that keeps you from
going over the edge. Rachel--the arch who brings the two together. A
bridge that's sometimes as shaky as the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway,
sometimes as unexpected as the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, and
sometimes as strong and beautiful as an old Roman arch bridge. Will
their friendship endure? Time Will Tell.
