The year is 1970. In a blue-collar suburb of Boston, two eleven year-old Catholic girls struggle to come of age in a culture still very much dominated by men. They watch in dismay as their fathers and priests determine the lives of the women around them. Loyalty to family and church is paramount; women and children suffer in silence rather than expose the men who do them harm. Frances Orillio is an adopted, only child; she is self-critical, anxious, and vulnerable. Maddy Malone is one of six children, and grew up in a rough housing project scrapping with the boys. Although they are strikingly different in temperament, they forge an enduring friendship on the path to becoming strong, independent women. Together they battle the tangled jungle of ignorance, racism, and homophobia that goes hand in hand with the culturally entrenched discrimination against women. Like the treacherous roads in a New England winter, the way is fraught with hidden dangers. Family secrets and lies are like the invisible black ice on a bridge: if you don't watch out for the signs, it can be deadly.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Sienna Rose is a Massachusetts native, born in 1959 and residing in Florida since 2002. In 1996, she earned a BA in psychology from UMASS Boston, and in 2001, an M.Ed. in school counseling from Cambridge College, Cambridge, MA. Because she has always been concerned for those who are different and vulnerable to bullying or abuse, Ms. Rose wrote her master's thesis on the needs of gay/lesbian/bi/trans youth in school. She works as an independent educational consultant and advocate for children with disabilities. Bridge Ices Before Road is her first novel.

I had no idea what to expect when I downloaded this book, but was very pleasantly surprised. I was born in the late 1960s, so I could so relate to the characters, the storyline, and what was going on at that time. I laughed, cried, snorted and got angry while reading this book. Ms. Rose hit the nail on the head throughout the entire book. It's funny how her words could take me back in time from the slang, the clothes, the strict parents, morals, loyalty to family, etc.. I loved every page.

I truly enjoyed Frances, watching her grow and feeling her happiness, her pain, her loss. I also enjoyed Maddy Malone, and learning about her family dynamics and just what it was like back then growing up as a "tomboy". Beautiful story, beautiful characters. Ms. Rose's words are like a picture painted on a canvas with her words. I had a very hard time putting this book down. I wanted to know what happened next. You know a book is superb when you're in bed at night and wondering if Maddy said/did this, the story could go that way... or if Frances would just do this.... all the WHAT IFs. I would pay to watch this story as a movie; loved it that much!!

This book has it all, drama, mystery, humor, murder, suspense. Great job Ms. Rose. Looking forward to reading more of your books!! :)

This novel is one of those freebie give-away deals authors so often set up to stir interest in a new, often first-time, project. I loved it so much I'd have gladly paid full price for the chance. Sienna Rose is a bright new voice in the indie world. Her debut story chronicles the lives of two eleven-year-old girls coming of age in 1970 New England. Picture a suburb of Boston, if you will. I love a well-told story, and Bridge Ices Before Road certainly fits the bill. It's a lengthy read, but the payoff is there. Rose tackles real-life issues teens and young adults have always faced. She tackles sexuality, abuse, racism, and those dark secrets families have long sought to keep hidden. And she does this well. All who know me know my stance on character development. It's the most important aspect of a good story. With a strong plot, it becomes a great story. Sienna Rose succeeds on both accounts, introducing strong characters into an amazing plot, all designed to tell a wonderful story of growing up in a world that's just as mixed up as any eleven-year-old schoolgirl. The narration voice of young Frances comes alive from the opening pages, carrying the readers through the years, through the tragedies, and on to the triumphs. Sienna is bold with her story, never shying away from issues some might find uncomfortable. That's real life. This is a book I can easily recommend to other serious readers. Well done, Sienna.

I grew up during this time frame and could relate to the difficulty of growing up a girl before girls got wings. The mostly dysfunctional cast of characters of this read easily represented people who influenced my own life. As carefully as the characters were developed in Part I, I never would have guessed the hidden secrets and the drama that unfolded in Part II. It was a page turner.

This was an interesting coming of age book. It had many levels, layers and components to it. It starts out with two unlikely girls becoming friends. I do not really read this type of book normally. I was reading it and about halfway through it I was starting to remember why I don't generally read these. Then the book picked up big time. There were all kinds of twists, turns, and exciting events. There were many things hinted at in the beginning half of the book. I was thinking they would remain hinted at and left, boy, was I wrong. All the hints were just the beginning of some exciting intrigue and sorrow. You don't realize it, but you get attached to the characters in this story as you read along. I don't want to spoil the story for anyone, but the ending is not the one you would expect. It is well written and compelling.

Is it possible to love a book and hate it at the same time? It was easy to get wrapped up in the characters lives and be right there with them; even to the point I know what they look like! Growing up in this time period, I had neatly stored away the memories of the racism, bigotry, and the Vietnam war. Most of the guys from my graduating class came back in body bags. Every generation has it's own 'stuff' to deal with though.

Sienna was able to record the very real sounds and feelings of the time, much along the lines of John Steinbeck...can't get much better than that. The story elicited every possible emotion from love to hate. THAT, is the true measure of an author!

Here's to your next novel, Ms. Rose! (I would love to read a sequel to Bridges Ices Before Road.)
