The Shadow of The Bridge is a coming-of-age historical novel, located in the remote coal-mining mountains of West Virginia.
El, age 12, and Edgar, 14, avidly follow the radio broadcasts of President Roosevelt, Churchill, and Lindbergh among others, tracking the war, and dreaming of one day flying, like 'Lindy'.
They sneak out at night, climb up the mountain to the 121-foot high railroad bridge, lie on the crossties, and watch the activities in their town which is built below the bridge.
