     My library receives advanced copies of upcoming books.  I was lucky enough to read a copy of The Bridge by Karen Kingsbury.  Few editorial mistakes were noticed.: page 60 has "bigat" which should be big at and page 160 has "theyever" which should be they ever.  Maybe they will catch it before print time.
     The story is a great Christmas miracle story. The plot so typical of our times.  She brought to light the great gulf between wealth and poverty.  The struggles with the economy and the natural disasters that are destroying so many lives.
However, she didn't seem to have any scripture references in this one! One that kept coming to my mind while I read was 1Corinthians 10:24; Let no man seek his own but every man another 's wealth.  Maybe she could have used it somewhere with one of her characters.  Even if it wasn't the main ones.
    Overall, the story was true Karen Kingsbury.
