Today a Hallmark Route film event, The Bridge, along with prequel THE START, is a heartwarming tale of two couples who find love in a bookstore and experience the sort of miracle that may just happen at Christmastime.

#1 New York Times bestselling writer Karen Kingsbury provides written a modern-day classic with this memorable love story place against the struggle of the American bookstore. Molly Allen lives by itself in Portland, but she still left her heart back in Tennessee when she strolled away about The Bridge: A Book from Ryan five years ago. That they had a rare sort of like she hasn’t discovered since.

Ryan Kelly lives in Nashville after a broken engagement and many years on the road touring with a country music duo. Sometimes when he’s lonely, he trips The Bridge-the oldest bookstore in historic downtown Franklin-and remembers the hours he and Molly once spent there.

For over four years, Charlie and Donna Barton have work The Bridge, providing clients with coffee, discussion, and racks of classics-even through dismal product sales as well as the rise of digital books. Then the hundred-year overflow sweeps through Franklin and destroys everything. The lender is going to pull the store’s rent when tragedy strikes. Can two decades of readers rally together to save lots of The Bridge? And is it feasible that an memorable love might trigger the miracle of a second chance?
