"The Bridge" Bargain Kindle Books
Brief of "The Bridge" Kindle Book :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.

Rock solid "steady-good"By J.A.N.
What is most impressive about this short story is how it is "steady-good" from beginning to end.
Again Kay has taken an experience from her years of volunteer work in China's orphanage system and mixed fiction with reality to paint a picture of just one amongst the endless stream of abandon children in China.
This work is both sad, in that this young blind child is abandon by a historic bridge in China, and uplifting in that absolute strangers take extras steps to help this innocence child have the best life that can be patched out of a bad situation.
I hope that she does many more of these short stories as they are little "shots in the arm," when one needs a quick uplifting read.

LOVED IT!By Emily
Kay has done it again! This is a short, easy read! It gives me hope that there are people like Jing in China (and all over the world) who can't turn their backs on little ones! I immediately fell in love with her and Fei Fei!

Heartwarming & Heart-wrenching at the same timeBy S. Greif
Kay Bratt has done it again! This fabulous short story tells what could be many adoptees' abandonment story. The warmth and understanding between the characters in this story will win you over in a few pages.
