Book Review - "Bridge To Haven"

"Bridge To Haven," a novel written by Francine Rivers, is one that draws the reader in and holds you there for a long time after you are done reading. 
Lena was born and deserted by her mother under a bridge where she was found by the town pastor.  All of her life she had spent sheltered in Haven and just wanted an escape.  Moving to Hollywood seemed the answer; however things are not always what we believe them to be. 
Francine has done a wonderful job with this book.  It is a very touching story of grace, love, temptation and moving on from mistakes.  I found this book to be one that really brought the characters to life and really allowed the reader to become a part of the characters' lives.  Lena's life has been a mystery, a disappointment and constantly wanting more, wanting something different. I felt as if I was on this journey with Lena every step of the way and I highly recommend this book.
