Ruth Logan Herne, the bestselling author of Welcome to Wishing Bridge, invites readers back to the small town where big dreams come true.
After surviving the streets of South Philly, Thea Anastas never thought she’d wind up working in rural New York. But a call from a friend in need convinced the nurse practitioner to make the trip. Now her temporary position is making a difference in Wishing Bridge–though Thea can’t afford to make a difference, to fill a gaping hole in the sweet, small town. After all, the current medical practice is being dissolved in three months, and bigger opportunities are luring her away…
Her partner, Dr. Ethan Brandenburg, has his own struggles: caring for his orphaned niece and nephew and holding firm to his decision to leave Wishing Bridge for a prestigious job in Chicago. Though Thea’s no-nonsense advice in the office has been good for business, her compassion in Ethan’s personal life has been good for his heart. But how can he offer a commitment to a woman when they’re both about to say goodbye?
Wishing Bridge may be surrounded by forests and farms, but Thea is starting to realize that friendships and family form its heart–and that what she wants in life and love may be right in front of her eyes.

"You're leaving. She's leaving. Move on."
Nurse practitioner Thea Anastas never thought that a small rural town like Wishing Bridge, New York could ooze with so much charm; she didn't want to settle down, she had never considered settling down, but for once in her life she was dreaming of settling down. One of her best friends had invited her there to fill a temporary position in the local medical clinic, but it was a new friend who might keep her there, except . . . . he had no plans to stay.
Dr. Ethan Brandenburg is overwhelmed. Thrust into single parenthood upon the untimely death of his sister and brother-in-law, he is attempting to merge a busy medical career into the lives of two small children. Grieving over the loss of their parents and unsure of their move across country, Ethan's niece and nephew have proven to be a unexpected blessing and an inescapable challenge. When a local emergency sheds new light on his business partner, he realizes that Thea Anastas has a boat load of tenderness underneath her brusque professional exterior; it might be just what his make shift family needs, except that his plans to leave Wishing Bridge are just around the corner.
Leave it up to the Lord Almighty to heal hearts and build homes. If only every reader would take a trip to Wishing Bridge!
