From the bestselling author of The Scavenger's Daughters comes a heart-warming novella-length story, inspired by real events set on a famous bridge where birth parents leave their children in the hopes of giving them a better future than they can provide. This story will leave you feeling the utmost warmth of compassion, and reaching for a box of tissue.

In present day China, an old woman's house sits opposite an ancient bridge. Not just any bridge -- but a special one because it has always been known as The Lucky Bridge. In olden days it was said that to walk over it during a marriage ceremony, or at the beginning of the New Year would bring the traveler good luck. Because of its reputation, over the years it has also become a popular place for young mothers to abandon their children. What to some may seem cruel is in reality their final gift to their offspring -- one last chance to send them off to their new destinies with luck on their side. Jing, an old woman, is the unofficial and often reluctant guardian of the bridge. When no one else will, Jing steps in to prevent the children from frostbite, abuse and hunger, and then she delivers them safely to the orphanage. This has been her routine for many years, but what does Jing do when the latest child, a blind boy, burrows deep into her heart?

Read The Bridge to see how Fei Fei's life is changed by the love of a lonely old woman. The Bridge is a short story of 17,000 words, approximately 72 pages. Fei Fei's character is based on a real orphaned boy that Kay Bratt met during her time in China.
