When you think you don't have anything to lose, you'll risk it all not to lose what you have.
Billie Jensen has anger issues. Growing up in prison among societies less than stellar citizens, fighting for his dignity and his very life has given Billie a lot to be angry about. He'd like to blame it on his past: An abusive stepfather, an absent mother, being sent to prison for escaping a living hell the only way he knew how. But Doctor Scott, the prison therapist, knows better. After taking Billie under her wing, he comes to realize he has choices. And when Billie meets the beautiful and seductive Suneda a runaway from the remote Costa Rican village of Alta Vista he wants to start to make better ones.
But when Suneda is threatened by a local drug lord, El Sanguinio, Billie has to do something, so he plans a daring escape and the two make their way through the perilous Costa Rican rainforest with both the law and El Sanguinio on their heels only to find out they are more connected to each other than they could have ever known.
Bridge to Alta Vista takes you on a daring escape and roller coaster thrill ride that leaves you hanging until the very end.
(Previously published as "Bridge to Alta Vista")
The Bridge to Alta Vista is Gerald Thompson first novel and will soon to be made into a feature film. Born and raised in Michigan, Gerald attended Western Michigan University where he received his Bachelor of Business Administration Degree in Marketing and Business Communications. He moved his family to Houston Texas in the 1990's where he built a successful business. An entrepreneur turned novelist at 58 years old, Gerald has traveled extensively throughout Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America. In 2008 he bought a villa in the rain forest area of Dominical Costa Rica where he traveled throughout the country for many years getting to know and understand the beauty, culture and the Tico people of Costa Rica. The inspiration for the purely fictional work-The Bridge to Alta Vista came to light one day on a flight back to Houston over the expansive Talamanga mountain range where way way down below sat a remote village of the Boruca Indian people. These people live a life of self-subsistence, completely off the grid with a tribal-like reliance on one another for basic needs and survival. This village still exists today. How could that be? Who are these people? Why do they live this way today? Why do they stay, or do they choose to leave?
The Bridge to Alta Vista is Gerald Thompson first novel and has been adapted and optioned to Winding Roads, LLC to be considered for a feature film. Look for its release in 2019-2020.
