Blair, stunned and sore by the shattering discovery, storms out of the house and disappears to the other side of the world. Her family situation unsettled as ever, Helena leaves next. Shadows from her past and the need to cope with them have gradually revealed painfully tangible memories, imploring to be exposed. She travels far, determined to try and build bridges--to her past, to her husband and children, and to her loved ones that are long gone. Distant and removed from everyone in her life, at a furious pace, she writes down all her secrets, as well as the life story of her extensive family, which was torn to shreds by the Second World War. When she's closer than ever to exposing her account, devastating news from home force Helena to expedite her return. Is her world about to change forever? Beneath a Glass Bridge raises profound questions about loss, motherhood in times of crisis, hiding and exposure of the truth. Are the decisions we make in our lives reversible? Can we make up for missed opportunities?
