Drawn to Troubled Waters

Roberta is afraid of bridges. She has no fear of water, just those structures that arc gracefully over bodies of water. The artist in her is drawn to their loveliness. She sketches from afar. Until the day a mysterious benefactor entices her to Money, Mississippi. There's a bridge waiting for Roberta to sketch. What she finds on the quiet banks of the Tallahatchie just might answer the ever burning question: why bridges? And why is she drawn to the boy who meets her at the bus station?
