Christian historical fiction
Bridge of Gold
256 pages · First published 2021
Present-day underwater archaeologist Kayla Richardson is called to the Golden Gate Bridge after restoration work reveals a submerged wreck and human remains. Her investigation with project leader Steven Michaels connects to a 1930s mystery involving bridge construction, a sunken Gold Rush-era ship, and people willing to kill for rumored treasure. The dual timeline gradually reveals how discoveries made during the bridge’s building still endanger researchers generations later. Kimberley Woodhouse’s Doors to the Past novel blends Christian romantic suspense, archaeology, San Francisco history, and a century-old obsession with gold. This dual-timeline romantic suspense suits readers who enjoy historical discoveries, underwater archaeology, and a mystery linking past ambition with present danger.
