The Bridge Between Us
A Smiling Dog Cafe StoryBy Neil S. Plakcy
Length8h 9m
About this audiobook
When master carpenter Barry Goldstein loses his wife Ellen to a sudden heart attack, he finds himself drawn to Brooklyn’s mysterious Smiling Dog Café, where the coffee tastes like memory and painted dogs on the walls seem to watch with knowing eyes. Meanwhile, his estranged sister Leah has rebuilt her life in Connecticut after years of addiction and loss, including the death of her husband Jaime and their unborn child.
After fifteen years of silence, a chance meeting at Ellen's funeral cracks open the door to reconciliation. As they cautiously rebuild their relationship, Barry and Leah uncover a family history of patterns repeated through generations: love and loss, staying and leaving, building walls and tearing them down.
