Where the Bridge Begins

Avery Baird just can't catch a break, and right now she has two options: she can bring her struggles to the table, or she can bury them until her sister Joy's wedding in September. But when she's immersed into Joy's friend group, including her almost sister-in-law Kylie White, she finds it harder and harder to avoid the truth. And it's even harder to avoid Noah Becker, her old enemy from school-who matchmaker Rose thinks would be an excellent candidate for Avery's plus-one to the wedding. When Noah's thrown into the chaos, she finds it harder than ever to avoid hope.

But then a diagnosis brings Avery's plans crumbling down, and she's mourning what could have been. How can she have hope for her future when so few people understand?

Where the Bridge Begins is a hopeful story of chronic illness awareness, frenemies to lovers, forgiveness, and how healing affects every aspect of life.
