The Night the Bridge Cried
A Historical Novel
It happened in a town founded on family, folklore, and football.
In 1960, the people of Grunion Glade, Ohio are descendants of twin canal boat captains who left their boat to chase a lost football in the woods, where they met their brides and founded a town in the shadow of a haunted bridge. Their legacy lives on through the high school football team, The Captains, undefeated state champions. Bob Skinner Junior, a fatherless farm boy who dreams of gridiron glory, is tasked with protecting his cousin, William, a misfit dwarf with a dangerous hatred of football who discovers a secret that could destroy the legacy. In the background the bridge stands as a sentinel, watching, waiting.
