Overview

As a storm rages in the night, unwary drivers venture onto Tampa Bay's most renowned bridge. No one sees the danger ahead. No one notices the jagged gap hidden by the darkness and rain. When the bridge collapses, vehicles careen into the churning waters below. In that one catastrophic moment, three powerful stories converge: family ravaged by their child's heartbreaking news, a marriage threatened by its own facade, and a college student burdened by self doubt. As each story unfolds, the characters move steadily close to that fateful moment on the bridge. Searching for grace, they face the storms of their lives that loom as large as the one waiting above the bay. When these characters come together in Carolyn Williford's gripping story, they collide with the transforming call of Christ-Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me.


Editorial Reviews

MARCH 2012 - AudioFile

This fictionalized narrative of the actual 1980s Sunshine Skyway Bridge collapse opens with stormy sound effects and vivid action before continuing with stories of those caught in the tragic event. Tavia Gilbert delivers an accomplished portrayal of three separate families, including their problems and what brought them to cross the bridge span. Characters run the gamut from a mother and 5-year-old daughter to parents anticipating a weekend getaway after months at their amputee son’s bedside and a young woman caught in an emotional betrayal. Gilbert's excellent performance renders diverse characters with a spectrum of accents and emotions that range from joy to stark terror as vehicles drop like out-of-control elevators in Tampa Bay waters. Gilbert’s narration is compelling and worth hearing. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
