Creator of the bestselling “Welcome to Wishing Bridge” and “At Home in Wishing Bridge” award-winning author Ruth Logan Herne invites readers back to the little town with the big heart with “Finding Peace in Wishing Bridge”.
Being a supermodel isn’t just hard.
It can be a killer, so when international sensation Jazz Monroe answered a friend’s call for help, she’d just taken a hiatus from the job that made her a very rich woman and almost took her life. Outwardly Jazz was everything anyone would want to be. Beautiful, confident, rich and famous, and often seen on the arm of some of the world’s most eligible bachelors, Jazz knows the truth she hides. Her self-confidence is an act and the eating disorder that plagues her refuses to let her rest.
But then she and her old friend Thea are called to help a friend and fulfill a pledge they’d made a dozen years before as high school seniors. If any one of the three ever needed help, the others would come running. Last December, Kelsey made that call and her two old friends, the other members of the “Soul Sisterhood”, responded. They’re here now. Thea is practicing medicine, Kelsey has married the hero deputy that saved her life and Jazz is finding the hints of peace that have eluded her for nearly two decades. She settles into the little town, helping out at a local diner, waiting for the sky to fall.
It doesn’t. Instead, the sun begins to shine, winter fades to spring, and surrounded by new and old friends, Jazz begins to believe in herself. She loves the small town, the kindness of the locals, the warmth of the family diner and the special attention from two very different and distinct men makes her think new thoughts. Thoughts of family and picket fences and settling down.
But an unexpected attack on a wood-edged path reignites her fears and insecurities. Now she’s looking in shadows again, doubting herself and others. In Manhattan, locked elevators and a staffed entrance desk kept her safe from intruders.
Wishing Bridge has nothing like that. Here, she lives life at ground level, with no bodyguards watching out for her. But when a local contingent makes it their job to keep her safe, Jazz learns not to sell the small town short. Folks here mean what they say because that’s the kind of town Wishing Bridge is.
As Jazz rediscovers the most important things in life, she realizes that happiness isn’t about where you are: it’s about who you’re with. And who you love.
Join Jazz, Kelsey, Thea and the rest of the Wishing Bridge cast as they band together to help the town and one another because together– in Wishing Bridge– they can make anything happen.

Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: Finding Peace in Wishing Bridge Book Author: Ruth Logan Hearne What do you like about this book:
"In Wishing Bridge she wanted to be known for her open heart, her kindness and her character."
Former supermodel Jazz Monroe has travelled the world and made millions of dollars, but the charming community of Wishing Bridge has begun to feel like home . . . until an unexpected trauma completely tangles her sense of small town security. Is it possible that someone is intent on destroying not only her peace of mind, but her very life?
As local friends come to her rescue, Jazz has the opportunity to remember that trust is an integral ingredient in friendship, especially when it comes to the quiet strength of a local law enforcement officer whose concern for her well being trumps any confusing signals that she might inadvertently send about her feelings for the handsome Garrett Jackson.
Filled with folksy charm and just a bit of ongoing suspense, this return to Wishing Bridge stages its fair share of reality among members of a close knit community, "because no matter how rough things (get), the blessings outnumber the negatives".
