Past the Broken Bridges

By: B. Celeste

Narrated by: Rebecca Estrella, Jeremy York

Thirteen years ago, Sawyer Hawkins and her childhood friend Paxton shared secrets and snacks at their favorite wooden footbridge . . . until Hurricane Katrina forced Sawyer's family to head north. But after the long battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that kept her away, twenty-one-year-old Sawyer is finally heading back to Louisiana for university.

Now with a new lease on life, Sawyer wants to be a normal college girl. Check items off her list—make friends, go to parties, fall in love, and find her favorite bridge again. Even if Paxton is no longer there.

And her mysterious, gorgeous neighbor Banks might just be able to help her with that list.

But as their friendship grows, so do the secrets between them. Sawyer's future is more complicated than she lets on, and there's a reason Banks doesn't talk about his home life. The closer they get to one another, the more their bruised hearts are in danger of falling—or breaking. And when Sawyer learns Banks is Paxton Banks, and Banks realizes she's the same Sawyer from long ago, they'll find that while their footbridge may still be standing, it's up to them to cross the distance to each other.

Contains mature themes.

Amazing story

I enjoyed the ups and downs and the twists that weren’t exactly what was expected through out. Loved it was based in my home state by an author I hadn’t heard of! Enjoyed the love and friendship through out.

Bring the Tissues

I just finished Past the Broken Bridges. Rebecca Estrella and Jeremy York are fantastic. It was so easy to get wrapped up into the story. It is a five star tear jerker, angsty read. I'm still crying....
