Bridge of Scarlet Leaves by Kristina McMorris

Kristina McMorris resides in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and their two sons. At age nine, she began creatively expressing herself when she embarked on a five-year stint as the host of an Emmy- and Ollie award-winning kids’ television program. Kristina’s extensive experience in media and events led her to becoming a professional emcee and contributing writer for Portland Bride & Groom magazine.

In fall of 2000, deciding sleep was highly overrated, she compiled hundreds of her grandmother’s favorite recipes for a holiday gift that quickly snowballed into a self-published cookbook. With proceeds benefiting the Food Bank, Grandma Jean’s Rainy Day Recipes sold at such stores as Borders and was featured in a variety of regional media. It was while gathering information for the book’s biographical section when Kristina happened across a letter her grandfather mailed to his “sweetheart” during his wartime naval service – a letter that later inspired McMorris to pen her first novel, a WWII love story entitled Letters from Home.

I cannot express in words the talent I feel Ms. McMorris has for storytelling. She takes fact and fiction and combines them so well that the reader is very moved by what she writes. In Bridge of Scarlett Leaves, Maddie, Lane, T.J. and the rest of the cast tell a story of another place in time that seems to be heart aching among the glimpses of happiness. This was a controversial part of American history that left many uncertain of their futures, including the characters in this story. Be a part of their story as they go through love, loss, forgiveness, and joy and grab your copy today.
