Beyond the Bridge is a quick page-turner that brings to life a handful of appealing, and very real characters. Laugh-aloud conversations and unnerving suspense flow throughout a myriad of backdrops including San Francisco’s high society, Ohio’s Middle America, and Peru’s underground world of crime and drugs, all cascading into an unexpected yet dramatic conclusion. With just a hint of San Francisco’s gay flavor, Beyond the Bridge captures the quirky, flawed beauty that is the City by the Bay; a city where receptionists become artists, criminals become millionaires, and Middle America becomes comic relief.

Osborne lives in his own slow and distant world. His hanging lower lip makes him appear idiotic. Other soldiers ridicule him. They think of him as "touched by the spirits," or just dumb and lazy, while the rest of the men are convinced that Osborne is bucking for an early discharge. Although he takes pride in the American sense of fair play, he becomes dismayed at the ongoing bigotry and exclusion in the ranks.

Osborne has a unique talent of making statuettes, busts, and reliefs with ice and snow of everything he sees. He makes ice-figures of his drill sergeants, his friends, birds on a chain link fence, and even a poodle to cheer up a fellow soldier. In the end, Osborne becomes the boot camp hero simply by building a grand scale monument with ice and snow, and saves the day.

The early eighties was a turbulent time in Texas. The real estate industry was on the greatest boom since the discovery of oil. The boom attracted more than the usual number of men looking for their fortune. They wanted it all. The big house, the fine cars, Savile Row suits, trips to Europe and to accompany all this the trophy wife. Young, gorgeous, well trained in the art of manipulation. In the lower rungs of this society the men wanted the same things. They were willing to do anything to have it. Into this boiling pot a young widow was tossed. She married out of love, never dreaming she was a trophy wife. Her husband had been on the fringes of this boom. He had friends in all the right places. She inherited these friends. Could she survive in a world she was not prepared for? Could she save her son and herself from greed, destruction and attempted murder? The betrayal of all she held dear?
