'Bridge of Clay' is a family saga; you'll discover it gradually.

The story of the five Dunbar brothers, their mother (a wayward girl), and their father. A story of growing up, the pain of loss, and love. Not saccharine and vanilla, but real love—with loss, betrayal, forgiveness, and the ability to persevere.

Clay is the fourth brother, and the novel is dedicated to him. Having left to build a bridge with his father, he himself became the bridge that united the family.

The novel has so many interesting themes: love for animals, for horse racing, for ancient Greek mythology, literature, music, painting, and architecture.

This book is devastating, invigorating, and tearing you apart. The kind of book that, after reading it, you can't pick up another one for a long time. Simply because you're overwhelmed by a whirlwind of emotions.

You'll leave a piece of your heart in it.
