A few decades from now, California allows anyone 81 or older to legally end their life, a.k.a. "cross the bridge"-using the words of the religious movement, the Bridgers. Business is brisk for Ketch Immer and his father, purveyors of state-of-the-art crossing services.
When a renowned academic "proves" life after death, the Bridgers sue for change. The movement's figurehead, the veiled Jane Go, argues that adults of any age deserve the right to choose. The world watches on broadcast TV as introverted Ketch gets dragged into a cultural crucible. Well-funded Bridgers, well-armed anti-Bridgers, and the mysterious Jane Go pressure him to take a stand.
While confronting his family's complex history with assisted suicide, Ketch must uncover Jane Go's hidden motivations and answer the ultimate question: which life is more worth living, here or across the bridge?
"Thinking readers will welcome the strength, vivid characters, and compelling dilemmas."-MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
