Eighteen-year-old Sophie, cast out from the orphanage that once sheltered her, turns to the only lifeline left in Forrester County: the textile factory. She hopes her friend, Theodora, will help her begin again.
But Theodora is gone. No explanation. No trace. No one will say why. And there's no job waiting for Sophie.
As she searches for answers, long-buried memories begin to surface, drawing her back to the decaying swinging bridge where they first met years ago.
There, Sophie begins to suspect Theodora didn't simply disappear. Someone silenced her.And whatever happened all those years ago isn't finished yet.
The Swinging Bridge is a haunting psychological novella about memory, survival, and the people we refuse to forget.
