About the Book Finding Peace in Wishing Bridge:
Creator of the bestselling “Welcome to Wishing Bridge” and “At Home in Wishing Bridge” award-winning author Ruth Logan Herne invites readers back to the little town with the big heart with “Finding Peace in Wishing Bridge”.
Being a supermodel isn’t just hard.
It can be a killer, so when international sensation Jazz Monroe answered a friend’s call for help, she’d just taken a hiatus from the job that made her a very rich woman and almost took her life. Outwardly Jazz was everything anyone would want to be. Beautiful, confident, rich and famous, and often seen on the arm of some of the world’s most eligible bachelors, Jazz knows the truth she hides. Her self-confidence is an act and the eating disorder that plagues her refuses to let her rest.
But then she and her old friend Thea are called to help a friend and fulfill a pledge they’d made a dozen years before as high school seniors. If any one of the three ever needed help, the others would come running. Last December, Kelsey made that call and her two old friends, the other members of the “Soul Sisterhood”, responded. They’re here now. Thea is practicing medicine, Kelsey has married the hero deputy that saved her life and Jazz is finding the hints of peace that have eluded her for nearly two decades. She settles into the little town, helping out at a local diner, waiting for the sky to fall.
It doesn’t. Instead, the sun begins to shine, winter fades to spring, and surrounded by new and old friends, Jazz begins to believe in herself. She loves the small town, the kindness of the locals, the warmth of the family diner and the special attention from two very different and distinct men makes her think new thoughts. Thoughts of family and picket fences and settling down.
But an unexpected attack on a wood-edged path reignites her fears and insecurities. Now she’s looking in shadows again, doubting herself and others. In Manhattan, locked elevators and a staffed entrance desk kept her safe from intruders.
Wishing Bridge has nothing like that. Here, she lives life at ground level, with no bodyguards watching out for her. But when a local contingent makes it their job to keep her safe, Jazz learns not to sell the small town short. Folks here mean what they say because that’s the kind of town Wishing Bridge is.
As Jazz rediscovers the most important things in life, she realizes that happiness isn’t about where you are: it’s about who you’re with. And who you love.
Join Jazz, Kelsey, Thea and the rest of the Wishing Bridge cast as they band together to help the town and one another because together– in Wishing Bridge– they can make anything happen.

Born to a poor family in Rochester, NY, Ruthy draws on her early years and her many years of dealing with today’s young families and businesses to create beautiful, heartfelt small-town stories of faith, hope and love… while adopting her favorite non-Scripture quotes “Plenty of time for rest in the grave” (Ben Franklin) and “No one can make you feel inferior without your permission.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) and one can always depend on Yoda “There is no try.

My Thoughts on Finding Peace in Wishing Bridge:
I love that this book talks about some hard topics like eating disorders and how the lives of others aren’t always as we perceive them to be.
This is the first book in this series I’ve read and while it can be read this way I would highly recommend you go ahead and read the series in order. Everything will make just a bit more sense that way.
While I haven’t read this series before I have read some books by this author so I knew I’d love her writing style and that this would be amazing! This is definitely an author I can recommend and you should get to reading her works! That said I need to read the other books in this series because this one was amazing.
I loved getting to know Jazz. While I’m definitely not a model, try short and slightly overweight, I loved that she was relatable and that she was made out to be just another girl who is under a lot of pressure and who has an intense life. She needs a break but when she takes one things don’t’ slow down as she’s off to help a friend.
The entire series is available on Kindle Unlimited if you have a subscription to that. I do and honestly, it’s the best thing ever for reading all the wonderful books!
I highly recommend this book and the entire series(I have since gone back and read books one and two because how could I not!) Think Hallmark movie but where you get to decide what everyone looks like. The best kind ever! You’re going to love this book. Take my word for it and go get it now!
