The Bridgesmith

In the sun-scorched, rain-drenched streets of Yemen, a young man builds bridges-not of stone, but of people and ideas. Ismael, devoted yet weary, connects the lost and the seeking, the hungry and the fed. William, a British researcher, arrives detached, hollowed by heroin and violence. Their worlds collide, each unsettling the other in ways neither expects.

A story of faith and faithlessness, devotion and disillusionment, The Bridgesmith is a meditation on love in its purest, most self-destructive form-a love that kneels, a love that bleeds, a love that builds bridges even as the world burns them down-and still, they fall.
