Mood of America Series - 2025 and Beyond

"Hate builds walls; love builds bridges. Hatred is heavy; love is light."

From the fire of Birmingham in the 1950s to the divided America of today, Love Is the Bridge follows Arthur McMillian through seven decades of struggle, faith, and resilience.

As a boy, he witnessed hoses and dogs unleashed against children. As a young man, he carried the weight of injustice into classrooms and pulpits. As a husband and father, he faced love, loss, and the unyielding demand to forgive. And as an elder, he became The Bridge Builder - a voice reminding the next generation that love is not weakness, but the greatest strength of all.

This novella is more than a story. It is a reflection and a prescription for America and the world:

To see each other beyond labels and divisions.

To listen with love instead of fear.

To carry the lighter weight of compassion instead of the heavy chains of hate.

Love Is the Bridge is a powerful American journey of hope and healing - a reminder that while storms may rage, only love can carry us forward.
