Bridge to Haven by Francine Rivers
Tyndale House | April 22, 2014
About the Book
To those who matter in 1950s Hollywood, Lena Scott is the hottest rising
star to hit the silver screen since Marilyn Monroe. Few know her real
name is Abra. Even fewer know the price she’s paid to finally feel like
she’s somebody.
To Pastor Ezekiel Freeman, Abra will always be
the little girl who stole his heart the night he found her, a wailing
newborn abandoned under a bridge on the outskirts of Haven. Zeke and his
son, Joshua—Abra’s closest friend—watch her grow into an exotic beauty.
But Zeke knows the circumstances surrounding her birth etched scars
deep in her heart, scars that leave her vulnerable to a fast-talking bad
boy who proclaims his love and lures her to Tinseltown. Hollywood feels
like a million miles from Haven, and naive Abra quickly learns what’s
expected of an ambitious girl with stars in her eyes. But fame comes at
an awful price. She has burned every bridge to get exactly what she
thought she wanted. Now, all she wants is a way back home.
In this riveting and highly anticipated tale of temptation, grace, and unconditional love, New York Times best-selling author Francine Rivers delivers big-canvas storytelling at its very best.
Why I Can't Wait to Read It
I've loved all of Francine Rivers' previous novels, so I'm sure this will be another great read. Plus, since she only publishes a new book every two years, I've been waiting for a new book for a while! :)

I'm interested in this one too! I've only read one of this author's books but this one sounds pretty good and who can resist the 1950's?!
